hi i was just wondering what ur lo's bw was at 24 weeks as kimberly was weighed today at 13lbs 14 and is now abover average between 50-75 centile she was always below average. hv told me to be carefull she doesnt become overweight but im not overfeeding her she gets 4 bottles and 2 spoon feeds i havent started breckfast yet so havent dropped a bottle yet she gets juice and isnt snacking yet. mum told me sheis just catching up on other babies as a baby in my estate 11/2 months older is 16lbs. if you have seen my pics you can tell shes not to put in plainly fat but she is sold any advice on this would be helpful. soz about the essay lol

Caleb has always been on the 50th centile and has now crept up to the 75 - great baby hippo that he is! As far as I know babies can't overeat as they only eat what they need naturally! Caleb had chubby legs for longer than most of his friends but as soon as he was crawling they toned up.
Just checked his chart and at 20 weeks he was 15lb 13!!! He's now 25lb 7!

Hi Michelle, has Kimmy got the downs weight charts? Just looked on George's (ds charts) and at 25 weeks he was 13lb 50zs. He always followed the 50th centile then dropped to just under the 25th before his heart op and has gradually crept back up to the 50th one again. I can;t see that Kimmy can be that overweight and certainly not enough for the health visitor to comment on it. A little boy I know with ds has always been on or over the top centile and they've never had any worries. I'd be more worried if she was underweight. Sometimes I think the health profs like to give us something to worry and fret about - like we don't do that enough already lol xx

Hi, just been looking at brodie's charts and at the same age he was 14 and a half pounds. He started on the 25th centile and by the time he was 1 he was on the 91st! He was a bit of a porker when he was little but once they're on the move they start to loose that chubby look! We weighed Brodie just the other day and he's now 2 and a half stone at 3 and a half years old which puts him up around the 98th centile, so almost off the chart, lol! I don't think you'd call him fat but we may have to watch him in the future as he does love his food and at nursery he'll almost always have seconds and sometimes even thirds! I wouldn't worry about little Kimberly though, it looks and sounds like she's doing just fine! x x

Well Daniel was a chunky monkey from the beginning - 9lb 10oz. I think if he hadnt had downs he might have been bigger... (gulp!) He's always been above the 90th centile for weight, but also his height so hes quite well proportioned (still looks like he has elastic bands on his arms tho!!) I havent had him weighed for a while, but he was about 27lbs when he was 1. Compared to most other children we know with downs, he is HUGE!!!!!

lol thanks for ur comments, kimmy to begin with was very low in the chart and yes she is on the ds chart, i think the hv said something is because in the chart there is this big jump but it was a gap of over a month between weighings. well so looks healthy to me and the swimming will burn off extra storage lol she looks like the michelin man lol x

Charli is 19mths old now, When Charli was 3wks old due to losing weight i had to stop breast feeding and Charli had to have Infatrini which is a high calorie milk, we got it free from docs, 2mths ago the diatician said it was time for her to come of it now and to go on follow on formula, she is not really drinking much of it at all so now hv says she wants to keep a eye on her weight! Feels like we going round in circles sometimes!

i have 5 other children and they weighed between 5lb 15 ounces and 8lb,cos of charlie's heart he was struggling inside me so they delivered him at 29 weeks.but what he lacks in weight he makes up with his fantastic personality. i wouldn,t worry about weight hun as long as little kimmy is happy and healthy. my youngest jasmin weighed 5 lb 15 when born and at 16 weeks the chunky monkey weighed 16lb, she is now 2 and a half and weighs 27 lbs, her weight has always been well above average and now she is just below the 50 th centile, although she doesnt have DS ,but she just looks like a dainty little doll now although she has got a big jelly wobble bum bless her i am sure kimmy's weight will even out eventually lots of love shell,charlie and jasmin xxxxxxxxx

i love kimmys bum its soo jelly like haha, yeah im not worried bout it she is happy and healthy but she still isnt rolling at 61/2 months, she isnt really liftingherself either but she was really floppy when born she has always had strong legs tho all in time i suppose as they are generally slower to do things ill burst when she does eventually do it
