i agree, don't listen too much to what the HV says- all babies are differernt and in that sense doesn't matter what percentile theyre in- my daughter has always been 80-90th centile, but only because she's really tall i think, not particularly chubby. My daughter never eats much for lunch or tea if she has snack in between- i just offer her a drink and maybe a satsuma mid morning/afternoon-- that might make a difference? Also- even now, at 23 mnths i give her a cup/bottle of milk if i'm convinced she hasnt eaten enough for a meal, as she'll always take that. Occasionally she won't and i know somethings wrong like her teeth or a tummy upset. And she's still not keen on fork or spoon...i think we probably underestimate how much of an effort it is for them to get through their solids, never mind manipulating these new utensils. I hate to go back to 'what my mother says', but apparently i existed on breastmilk and ham til i was 20 months old, and i was by no means an unhealthy baby. And i eat my green nowadays too.
