Weight percentiles
Looking for a bit of advice.
My little girl has always been on the smaller size.
She dropped percentiles when she was newborn due to CMPA but since then has been following her curve
I’ve just gone to get her weighed and although she’s put on weight, she has dropped percentiles again. She’s now just above the 50th percentile but she has dropped. We can’t physically force anymore milk / food in her, she just won’t take it but the mum guilt in me is overwhelming.
Do you think it’s because she’s a lot more mobile now? Is there anything I should be doing?
She’s currently on 3 meals a day with 3 6oz bottles

Also she probably grew more in length than in weight that's why she dropped % . My baby had a huge length growth spurt this past month. She's average in weight but above average in height so it put her growth % at 50%
When my boy started crawling he barely put on any weight for around 2 months but is happy and healthy.
I work in HV if you want to PM me a pic of her chart

If your Dr doesn't see anything wrong in her growth I wouldn't worry about it. If she's full after each meal/ feeding and she is putting on weight youre doing your job correctly ❤️
