    Lea, DD was 4.6kg at birth and very rolly. She gained weight really slowly but even now at 20m she still has the rolls and is doing fine. It used to worry me a little when she was younger, but then I just decided I would save my worry for if there was actually any ill health! LOL I stopped looking at percentiles etc, by the time she was maybe 10 or 11m.

    She was a waker up until I put her on a bottle at about 10m, so I suspect I may have had some supply issues, but that's just our experience and may not have anything to do with your problems. We never had reflux, but she did have eczema which is pretty much gone now.

    Anyway, just wanted to let you know I have a slow grower and, while she may be a smidge shorter than 'average', she's super fast on those short, chubby legs Hope all goes well with your paed appointment.
