Rachel - I had a little chuckle to myself when I read what you wrote about 3% and 95% ... I totally agree, if there weren't babies on those percentiles, then they wouldn't exist!!

Sasha - I have had that "he's a big boy" crap with all 3 of my boys, and to the other extreme, everyone thought my DD was soooooo tiny ... I was even reading her blue book the other day and apparently the ECH nurse thought it was unusual for her to be waking for feeds during the night at 6-7 months old!! (shows how much attention I paid, she's now 4,5 yo!! )

I agree with the comment about everyone being different .... when I was 15, I weighed 33kg and the drs all thought there was something wrong with me - they reckoned I was grossly underweight for my age and height (I think 4ft 10 at the time) BUT it turned out that I was just super active with a very fast metabolism!

SQUIDIPA - YOU ARE A FANTASTIC MUMMY, YOU HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE, FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS CHICKY!!!!!

Anyway, Veygas is stirring, must be off ...
