I jsut wanted to say, squidipa, I was laying in bed last night thinking about Jazz's growth and I got a horrible feeling that I was really insensitive when I wrote my post I didn't even write anything positive, but I wanted to say that if Josh is happy and alert and gaining then I think you are doing a great job as mummy There are drs, midwives, paeds, MCHNs etc who think that all ababies need to gain weight at the same speed, and it just isn't true. There are different shaped adults, adults who have fast and slow metabolisms, adults who are more active than some, so surely its stands to reason that babies will all be different shapes and sizes and grow at different rates. As long as he is in fact growing, and as long as he is happy, that should be the main thing. I know they want to put the flashing red lights and sirens on Josh, but at least he's growing, you know. At least he's gaining, at least he's growing. You are doing an absolutely woderful job hun.
And my final word is... f-ck normal. The professionals say "they should be doing this, this is normal" PFFFFFT, what is normal anyway? There is such a range in this babies group alone, bubs who have gained heaps, bubs who haven't gained much, and developmentally I think our bubs are all on different pages with what they are doing and learning...
You're doing a great job! You are a wonderful mummy!
hey i could get worried with 400g a week but he's just a bigger than average baby... besides some babies have to be on the 3% line and some on the 95% line. *hugs squidipa*
