25th centile?
in Baby
Hi everyone
I'm not really worried about the weight of my baby as the health visitor is happy but compared to other posts on here Mia Rose seems to be very light! She'll be 13 weeks old on Sunday and weighed 11lb 11oz at the clinic yesterday. She only has 4 (7-8oz) bottles a day (8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm) as she goes to sleep at 9pm and and sleeps right through until 8am! Just wondered if anyone else's baby was following the 25th centile?

As long as she's gaining weight steadily they don't seem to worry. I'm constantly worried cos Teagan is sick loads and never asks for more after being sick. Apparently I was a sicky baby but always wanted to fill up again after being sick, could explain why I'm now constantly on a diet!

Zoey - thanks for your comments on Mia's photo's. I finally got round to putting some on Facebook!! It's taken me nearly 13 weeks! It's only photo's of when Mia was a few days old though - I must put some more recent ones on there when I get a chance to download them from my camera! I love your profile pic - very sweet! Out of interest when does Ruby have her 3 bottles? xxxx
Josh is between the 25th and 50th centile and follows a similar routine to Mia in terms of feed amounts and times.
He's almost 20 weeks now and was 14lb 14oz when he was weighed last week (at 18+ weeks). he was 6lb 6oz at birth, and since then has shot up in weight, but he now seems to have caught up and his weight has been steadily following s line in between 25th and 50th centile for a few weeks now. HVs are happy with his weight.
I wouldn't worry too much as long as she is continually putting on weight. Emilia started off on the 25th centile for weight but has always been on one of the higher ones for height (I think the 91st??). It always worried me.
She gradually moved onto the 50th centile for weight and has stayed there ever since - still very tall though.
I'm not worried at all - some weeks he gains 13oz on breast milk.
Some babies have to be smaller - that is just the way of things. If your baby is healthy then don't worry! Not everyone can be bigger than average.
AS long as stage on that line if she having problem feeding her talk your HV if you ever need to talk i am hear . If you on facebook i set a group to help with all the up down you welcome to join

I really wouldn't worry at all. Josh will be a year old next week (already) and he has followed the 25th centile the whole way!
As long as your LO is eating as she should be, and is happy - there is no reason to be concerned.
Take care,

I really wouldn't worry. My daughter has gone up & down between the 25th -9th centiles & is perfectly healthy. She's now 27 months & only just gone into 12-18 month clothing! I breast fed on demand then introduced solids through baby led weaning so I never really knew how much she drank or ate but you have to trust that they take what they need when they need it.
