As far as I know, failure to thrive is more than just weight - it's failing to thrive in all ways. The baby will be unwell, perhaps ill-looking, milestones will be being missed. A FTT baby just doesn't look great. A very happy, active, otherwise well, underweight baby is probably just a skinny baby! But it's always good to get these things checked. I hope the paediatrician is reassuring.

Tom has been sick again. Sigh. We've had seven weeks of kids being sick and I'm over it. He had a really nasty gastro for two weeks, then he got the awful cold/fever on top of that, and on Sunday he started vomiting again. Fortunately it was only a 24 hour thing and apart from being tired and off solid food, he's much better today. I had mastitis too - ended up with a nasty little bleb on my nipple but that's clearing up. Hurts a bit though.

Hope everyone is well, and that those of us with school aged kids are enjoying the holidays! This is the busiest week of the year for my dh, and I'm looking forward to a break next week.
