Thats great news. My mum who had her baby Lydia 13 weeks early is concerned, Lydia is 7months old and only weighs 10 pounds, We just cant seem to get her to gain the weight! have you any suggestions? She does have a heart complication so whether this is the cause. I dont know, Lydia still looks newborn.

Well done you though, You must be so proud (h) xx

Hey there, I really don't have any advice to give you. I know two other prems in the same boat and both Mummies are waiting for an appointment to look at the gut etc. Some babies put weight on well and others struggle. Fortunately, Archie has been a feeder and a grower.

Pass on my regards to your Mum and little Lydia xxxxx

Hey huni,

My lo matthew is a slow weight gained at 9 months he's just over 15lb but looks bigger, In Oct our paediatrician was a bit concerned and asked us to get him weaned ASAP and to be honest his weight has not shot up as we thought. HOWEVER, some babies are just petite by nature and im sure baby sister will catch up,

Have they suggested formula or BF supplements to bulk up her diet, where is your mum at with weaning etc? As Dona mentioned sometimes a bit of investigation into digestion is needed but its always to the benefit of the baby.

I know Brooke (DonnaBallona's wee girl) is still a bit small maybe she can offer some advice x

That is great news! Sounds like Archie is really thriving! What are you feeding him? LOL!

I go by actual age as I love people's reaction - totally baffled until I explain, Emily is still on the 9th percentile so still looks like a newborn, to me she is massive now but to others she is tiny...x
