I have spiralled today and I’m not even sure why. Baby girl is 9 weeks + 3 and got weighed today - she is weighing at 13lb 7 and is sitting on the 91st centile. Why has this bothered me so much? She’s a healthy, happy girl! Feel like it’s emotions overload today😩😳👀

My baby was 20lb 2oz at 16 weeks.. sometimes I feel robbed of a tiny baby but ultimately, our babies are thriving!

I had the opposite with my first. Although he was on the 50th percentile for weight he was on the 90 something (can't remember exact) for height. He has always been super skinny and didn't have any baby chub at all. I felt like I was robbed of the chubby rolls haha especially because he was drinking so much milk!
This June baby is a chunky boy! 85th percentile for everything and in 6-9 month clothes to accommodate his long body. It's been such a different experience this time round.
The main thing is they are following percentiles and are gaining weight ❤️

Mine is 10 weeks tomorrow and also 13.7! xx she’s a chunky baby I did worry for a little bit as she went from 75 to 91st percentile but I also looked at the height to weight percentiles and she’s bang on in the middle for that on the 50th, she’s 62cm x it’s worth having a look at that to see if she’s proportionate! Made me calm down a lot as she’s just a long and chubby baby x the 91st percentile is an age to weight ratio x

My baby boy was 9 weeks yesterday and is 14.4 pound, also 91st centile. He’s very long. I have that feeling of being robbed of a tiny baby, he was born straight into 0-3 and in 3-6 by 5 weeks old.. It hurts my heart how fast he’s growing but he’s absolutely perfect and wouldn’t have him any other way. Most important thing is they are healthy and happy ☺️x
