Dropping weight centile lines
My LO is now 2 centile lines lower than he was a few months ago (from 60th to 40th) and he’s nearly 6 months old. His other centile lines are around 80th. Should I be worried? I’m waiting to hear back from my health visiting team.

Thanks, it’s been a gradual drop.
Hoping that weaning will help
Have the same issue. Was born 75th. Now 25th but they said not a concern c0z it’s a steady drop not a steep one. We just started weaning
We were 50th and went down to 9th. Dr not concerned. He's now back up to 20th.
Someone told me that at around this age milk isn’t enough any more and until they start eating solids they’ll keep dropping centiles (gradually) anyone heard of that?
@Charis ye I think that's total nonsense you've heard or out of context atleast ...milk should be the main source of nutrition until age 1 before that new foods are just mainly learning and fun 😁 xx

I wouldn't be overly worried it's not that big of a drop I wouldn't think expecially if his wet and dirty nappies are still regular and he's happy in himself ....my LB HD only just been discharge from healvistors and has been under observation for weight since birth so I know a bit about it ...my boy was born 75th and has now settled himself on the 2nd ...he drped right down to 0.4 at 1 point they will look for weather he is steadily following the line ...was it a drastic drop or a steady drop and whether all the centiles roughly match up xx
