Thanks Sami - I can't help worrying about her weight sometimes though. I don't worry about it all the time cos I do often look at her and see that she looks well and happy. But then I see and hear all the other babies growing so much bigger than her and she's not growing at all. It does help hearing about Giselle. I sometimes feel like Maya is the only baby who just doesn't grow and forget that other babies are/were like her. As for b/f I've thought a few times about giving up and putting her on formula cos I thought it might help Maya put more weight on. But then I thought what if it doesn't make any difference and I've just swapped her to formula for no good reason. The dream feed is formula though, so my DH can do it if I'm too tired. I'm now doing 4 b/fs a day + 1 formula.

belfie - Yeah Maya's poos have worried me (as well as her weight). I've always wondered if the two problems were connected somehow. But when I tell people (MCHN, doctors, etc) they don't seem to be worried about it. Hmm.. I mean I guess her poo isn't bright green all the time but it's often green - varying from bright to dark. And she was doing many poos a day until around 6 months. Now she sometimes goes a day or two without a poo. And sometimes she will still spend a whole day pooing. They aren't as runny as they used to be though (I guess cos she's on solids). So yeah they have changed now and aren't as green or runny any more. I was hoping that would mean she'd maybe put more weight on now? But it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

Last week I noticed a white spot on Maya's gum. Then yesterday I noticed there is a huge white lump on her gum!! Which I assume is a tooth (otherwise there is something very wrong with her gum!). It's poking out the side of her gum at the moment.. hasn't come all the way down yet. I've been focusing my attention on looking at her bottom gums, so I think that's why I missed it till now. As usual Maya doesn't do things by the book. I think it's her top right canine tooth coming out first! AND.. I think I can see her two top front teeth coming down. Do they come down at the front of the gum?? I think they are just under the surface at the front.
