Babies need a bit of chub for when they are ill as they don't feed so well if they're off colour but not every baby is born on time, the same size etc. It's not all about the numbers but they are a metric for when to seek help as they are sensitive little gremlins.
My O/H is obcessive about the chart and weight. He dropped a centile after his initial example expected drop and she seems to knee-jerk react to it despite the health visitors and doctors not not being concerned. He does seem eternally hungry however, he's 4 months and last night tried baby rice for the first time. He loved it, lapped it up took to using a spoon like it was natural, deffo like his mum and dad when it comes to food haha.
No baby is the same though, so long as they're gaining weight, growing and happy it's all good I say.
Anyone have any post natal issues with their o/h? Mine has become a little agrophobic. Any excuse to not go out while she's home alone, but then can't stand being home alone so to speak so hard to deal with when you come home from work and don't entirely feel the most sociable yoursel; but she's desperate for human attention. She's not the most extrovert but she has been taking him to swimming classes once a week at least but not keen on the other mums. Trying to get her to get back into her fitness in the evenings as that'll bring her mood up but anything that is not perfect brings her down.l at the moment.
Anyone had any experience of this and got any ideas? The relationship has been really tested as of late with some irrational outbursts and tbh I've not been great with it so I'm struggling now. I take the load off wherever I can but apparently it's not enough somehow even with my mum taking him and her having some keep in touch days at work 3 says a month and having no restrictions or expectations of her when I'm not at work.
Ted is doing great though, really coming on, I had some moments where I didn't feel like he bonded with me but now I get him giggling, laughing and he's happy for me to soothe him to sleep.
Not keen on a cool breeze:
Keen for a pint though:
