Has anyone else had this? Health visitor has just. Been and wants to see us again in 6 weeks time as my little girl has gone from steady on 75th to jumping to 91st centile, now I feed her when she wants I don’t stick to timing, just whenever I usually do 7-8 oz and she’s wanting a feed every 2-3 hours, like I’m not going to starve my child to keep them happy but it’s made. Me feel abit like a shit mum really wondering some others have had the same experience

My baby did similar, she went from around 83rd percentile to 98th percentile! They have random growth spurts and grow rapidly and then it will start to level out, I wouldn’t worry.

thank you! Just left me thinking I’ve done something wrong, she is short she’s on 9th centile for her hight but I’m only short so she was never going to be tall and I was chunky too just don’t wanna be judged for giving her what she wants when she wants x

I've gone the other way, he's gone from 98th at birth to just under 50th but they're not concerned as he looks healthy. He's just a very long boy.

no it’s nothing you’re doing! It sounds like she’s doing really well! They loose most of the chubbiness when they start crawling and moving about more anyway! X

bless him, my girls very long too! Every baby is so different ! X

I had this when my little one was about 8 weeks. The health visitor told me to try get him to sleep if he’s tired? I’ve always fed him on demand when he’s wanted it. I was never gonna starve my baby. You’re doing exactly what you need to for your baby🤍

she sleeps amazingly Honestly, 10 hours on a night and will nap through the day roughly for an hour, we have active days on the play mat out and about x

I just realised i wrote that wrong hahaha! 4 month sleep regression is taking over me😂🫠 health visitor told me to see he’ll sleep when he’s hungry which i was like wtf x

Honestly don’t even worry 😂😂 some just. Don’t get. It do they lol x

They really don’t!x

see she said she’s not concerned but wants to see me again as it’s a big jump? Now she’s only short so looks big aswell, she said 6 weeks but just been sent a text. For 2 week time 😮🤦🏻♀️

god knows, she has all her bottles she’s on 7-8 oz 8oz is mainly when shes had a more active day with playtime, she goes 2-3 hours between, I don’t make them before I do it when she’s starting her cues - she sounds like she’s shouting dink dink and she knows her bottle will come then- I love chunky baby’s I was one 😂😂 but she will have plenty Through the day and sleep 10 hours at night x

exactly, I mean to me there’s no such thing as textbook baby and she’s definitely not, feeds when she wants and has what she wants, I hope so too! Some just have the need to be judgey x

I'd probably not even make the appointment in 2 weeks. From everything you've said it sounds like there's nothing to worry about and it'll just make you worry unnecessarily.
Some babies are chunky but will lose the weight when they start moving more.
I don't even have a health visitor appointment until 9-12 months since my 8 week one so if they're so concerned about the weight of babies in between everyone would have more?

they’ve made it for me they want to keep an eye on her weight ? Apparently if they jump up on centile they prefer to check incase underlying issues? I had 8 week health visitor then asked if I wanted one at 3/4 month to talk about BLW so I said yeah not knowing she’d put on all this weight I mean at 13-14 week she was just over a stone so I should have expected something but she said if they left a big gap from now till 9-12 and she gained too much weight In that time then they’d have more to try deal with than if they try figure it out now sort. Of thing

ah okay that makes sense, just a precautionary thing. Hopefully she's just on a new curve now and will stay there going forward.

hopefully, just wondered if others had been through similar and what was to be expected x
