ALL happy until she got jabs in both fatty thighs.
It was quite painful, according to Dr B. I think she felt worse about the jabs than me.
Tough love.
Then an oral vaccine - her first taste of anything other than Mama's milk (not even water!!! Except for the time I almost drowned her in a bath washing her back - didn't realise her face was in the water!!!)
Anyway Emma really liked the taste of it. You could see she was thinking: Now what is this in my mouth? Yumm!
Weight: 5.84kg
Length: 58cm
At 2 months (16/9), she was 5.38kg, so she's put on a significant 0.5kg.
But as a comparison, Z was a hefty 6.5kg and 62cm at 3 months.
Dr B said Emma is at the 50 percentile and might be "petite". I guess the main reason for this: Since her feeding frenzy at 6 weeks, Emma's milk intake has decreased dramatically and is below what it should be for her weight. She is drinking about 700-800ml a day when before, when she was much smaller at 6 weeks, she was drinking 1200ml!
But anyway, nothing to worry about. Just musing.
