So on Wednesday I went to get Ethan weighed as I haven't had him weighed on two months. He's gone from 22lb 5oz to 22lb 15oz so a 10oz gain in two months. He's been following just above the 91st centile since he was 6 months old.
The HV then went on to ask me if he's on the move yet. To which I replied that he's constantly on the go and has been for 3 months crawling, standing, walking holding once of my hands etc. She then seemed concerned as she said being so active she would expect him to be dropping centiles. He's on the 50th centile for his height so said he should be dropping to meet his height?! Then she started to ask me about his diet, like what I fed him and quantities etc.
I'm not overly worried as he's a perfectly happy thriving little boy but it did get me thinking.. But surely he's better how he is than being underweight?!
Did you find your LO dropped down centiles when getting on the move?
