Not as far up

Week twelve weight on Thursday, baby has only put on 300 something grams since week ten.

While she's still in the 75th percentile, the nurse seemed a little concerned.

Then in a completely contradictory manner, she told me she was still putting on good weight.

She suggested we make sure that she has six feeds a day, and she has been - until the last two days.

Last week she cracked it four days in a row at around 3pm, usually two hours after her previous feed. It wasn't until the fourth day when I really persisted in trying to feed her through the tears (not easy) that she settled and had a massive feed and slept.

At the moment I'm doing my best to make sure she is really, really full before I put her to sleep. As a result she spent more than 220 minutes attached (yeah, we didn't get a lot done).

We're going back in for her 14 week check, so hopefully she back in the chubby-gainers club then.
