No growth in height in 3 mo?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
DS seems to be the same height at he was at 8mo, now at 11 mo, from measuring at home. He was always up there for height (95 then 75) now it's 50% on the WHO chart. His weight also went from 95% to 25%. He's doing all sorts of new things. I just expected him to at least grow some in height in two months. Any thoughts?

My DD (9 mos) has only grown a quarter of an inch since her 6 month appointment, but has gained almost 2.5 pounds. She was always 75-90% for length and is now 20%. She has stayed around the 50% for weight most of of her life, including this most recent check up. I asked her doc (who is highly supportive of AP and extended breastfeeding, which we do) if I should be concerned, but she said she's doing really well, is ahead in her gross motor skills (she walked unsupported) and is very healthy, nothing to worry about. So mama, hope that eases your mind a bit!

It's really hard to get an accurate measurement on a baby, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's totally normal for weight gain to slow significantly after 9 months.
