Weigh in

I took the baby in to be weighed yesterday, now that we're pushing it out to once a month or so.

She weighs 9.435kg (50th percentile) is 76cm long (75th percentile) and a head circumference of 50cm (50th percentile). That's an increase of 200g, growth of half a centimeter, and head gain of 5cm in a month.

Her head has followed the average course, but her height and weight have dipped a bit in the last month (but still fine). But since the last appointment, she has dropped both her breastfeeds and learnt to crawl, so it's pretty fair.

The nurse suggested we try her on soy milk, seeing as she is not liking the cows milk, so I'm going to head out and get her a few different types. She also suggested a soft tip cup for the milk, but maybe one that is different to all of her water ones - I had been giving it to her in a hard tip cup so that she wouldn't get it confused with water and stop her water.

She didn't seem too worried about her milk intake as she is still getting three dairy serves a day, and she said the same thing that the last nurse had - it's our job as parents to offer it, and her job to take it.
