Discussion: I just got told I have to t...

I just got told I have to top up with more formula, as he’s now only on the 2nd percentile :(

We’re doing some top ups to keep up with their demanding little appetites.. I’m not sure what percentile they are but they’re still tiny!

I guess they're still nominally at week -1? Keep up the good work :)

(Jayne's doing great with Stanley too)

I've sometimes been heard to say that we must use a different set of percentiles in climate to those used with small children because I rarely hear parents say their child is below the 50th percentile on anything....

There is an explanation in the baby booklet that the 50th percentile isn’t a ‘pass/fail’ threshold..
I think the actual percentile is pretty irrelevant but they really look at the trajectory over time.

I did try say going from the 3rd to 2nd percentile isn't crazy but they want to fatten him up.

On the mum's to be Facebook group i was on felt like everyone else was having massive babes. My friend had a 3.9 kg one today, only 200g less than Stanley is currently.
