Centile drop
Health visitor came today and baby is on track weight wise but she has dropped a centile in head circumference and length. Not sure really what I can do about it. Health visitor said she's not concerned at the moment and to carry on as I am but if it drops again when she comes back at 3-4 months review she will be. Filling me with anxiety

I had a 92nd centile baby and at 7 weeks he’s now 75th. He’s gaining weight and is healthy so the doctor told me not to worry as he’s still above average. I guess it depends on if they’re above or below average, but 1 centile shouldn’t be too much of a worry and if they’ve said they aren’t worried don’t torment yourself xx
Hey! Idk about length as my one doesn’t get measured but I had the same for the head circumference. I was stressed that something was wrong but my mom mentioned that it is often genetic!
Turn out that both me and my partner had a bigger head size than her at her age, far above in centile!
Check yours☺️
I had a weight loss drop and I couldn't wait until the next visit so called them half way through and told them my anxieties and to weigh her again. They are able to come over if you're struggling x
