1 year old weight!
Lo is just 8.3kg and her birthweight was 3.4kg. I know they should triple their birth weight at 1 year and she is 13days away from being 1 year old! I am concerned she is not getting enough since she decreased her milk intake dramatically since her teeth broke through (7-8 months). She would just do 3x a day breastmilk with solids and now she is just doing short sessions i mean under a minute feeding sessions 2-3x a day :( she also stopped waking through the night to feed and would mainly wake up seeking for comfort.
She is not fond of solid solid food - and would prefer taking purees still which I mix with some rice.
Milk intake wise she is CMPA and we tried everything - EVERYTHING but she isnunable to tolerate the hypo formulas even soya formula so i kept EBF but again she has decreased intake. Even water she now refuses to take and her nappies are not as wet. Any insights?

Maybe you can make her smoothies with full fat oat milk? Try using calorie dense fruits and vegetables in her smoothies (bananas, avocados, dates, grapes, etc).
Full fat oat milk has almost the same amount of calories as full fat cow milk, so I would try this to see if she likes it.
I honestly wouldn't worry unless they aren't eating. My girl was 3.2kg at birth then dropped into the 9th percentile and is currently 7.5kg and will be 1 at the end of next month!
My HV wasn't worried when she saw her for the review, she is still in the 9th percentile curve so I'm also not worried. My girl is quite short...in the 2nd percentile so that will also factor in as well.
Don't stress but if you are just call HV!
my little man is the same he weighed 3.14kg and birth and is now 8.5kg and is 1 on the 11th march. i was worried to begin with but im not anymore as i think he is just a small baby xx
I think the ‘triple their birthweight’ is just a guide and not a rule. My son was born 4.7kg, no way will he be 3x that next month
I wouldn’t worry if HV is aware and isn’t concerned. My LO was born at 2.8 kg.. in the 9th percentile. She now weighs 8.2 kg and is in the 25th percentile. We all come in different sizes.
she does get her weetabix with some oatmilk in the morning then soya yogurt after. For lunch she just gets water and would sometimes ebf after or a little later in the afternoon. Then at dinner she would get just water and breastmilk again when wants but sometimes she does not have it until bedtime which is 7pm. So yeah she does have some bananas but avocado i just started recently since she initially was allergic to it! Anyhow its made it so hard for me since she has a lot of allergies.
I will try giving her smoothies for snacks. Thank you!
Oh man! It’s difficult dealing with allergies! Is she allergic to latex maybe?
Good luck!
