Hiya, my little lad is 8 and half months old and is happily eating 3 (very small imo!) meals a day. He is breastfed and still takes quite a bit of milk, mostly at night! Since I started him on solids in Dec he has put on very little weight and has dropped a centile on his weight chart thingy. The health visitor said she wasn't worried at the mo as he is alert/happy etc but if he doesn't start putting on again soon I will have to do a food diary etc and they'll look into it. I kind of want to avoid that and want to sort out prob myself really as I always get a bit stressed out with docs/hvs etc. Anyway, sorry to waffle but has anyone got any good ideas to help him gain weight or should I just not worry about him as I don't want him to waste away (no chance of that at the mo but want him to grow properly!) but also don't want to end up turning him into an obese babe by stuffing him full of fatty stuff either!
