Hi Yankita, My little girl was very slow to gain weight and slipped down all the percentile charts to the extent that our HV told us she wasn't thriving and made us get her checked out at the hospital (they couldn't find anything to worry about). Needless to say this caused no amount of stress and worry and made the weaning process a whole lot harder than it should have been as I was constantly stressed that she wasn't eating enough! I think my main piece of advice would be to not worry too much -easier said than done I know. My little girl is now 2 and although she is small she eats like a horse and has plenty of flesh covering her bones! I eventually stopped taking her to get weighed as it stressed me out too much and I felt that as long as she was happy and eating OK then there was nothing to worry about. It took her a while, but she now loves her food and has a positive attitude towards eating. I think they all get there eventually and you just have to try not to worry too much. Good luck - and ignore those damn percentile charts!
