Brody was and still is pretty lean, so he's more muscle than fat, his weight didn't really change that much when he was younger. Wasn't until he started getting taller that we noticed a difference.
I think I'd only start to get worried if he was loosing weight, but this parenting lark is hard 🤷 so just follow your gut instinct if it's a concern for you.
Morgan rarely gained weight and he dropped once or twice. They told me it was probably because he was very active, so not to worry unless he was loosing weight regularly. I used to get them weight at the clinic so they'd give me their thoughts there and then. Could always pop in to one and see what they think.
@beffgoude yea it is hard... I know he doesn't eat much but it's not uncommon to hear of a fussy toddler... I'm trying my best too so despite hours spent coaxing him to eat he still didn't gain weight... just feel defeated!
He's very petite I was the same as a child and his dad is quite small too he also has such a small appetite anyway :( x
Samuel isn't really gaining weight he seems to just be staying the Same, he's very tall but isn't big he feels really heavy just doesn't look it at all, he's such a fussy eater too x
Did you get him weighed yourself? Or go to a child health setting? They usually say once they get to toddler age and are more active their weight gain is dramatically less. So they'd basically say if it's nornal/ average or whatever. For what he should be.

@sara-lou86 Charlie is so so active.... he's literally non stop running around.
His weight has just stayed static and it's the first time hes gained nothing.
I know I need to give it a month or atleast a few weeks before weighing him again but I'm so anxious now he's not getting enough! X

@olivia161 what's he looking like on his growth curve?
It's hard when they have a fussy appetite... I must spend all day encouraging Charlie to eat xx
