Hi -

Sorry about this OT, but I am curious about where your kids were on

the growth charts percentile-wise when they were infants? Cameron was

always in the 95th for weight and height.

Our dd has always been in the 50th (nice and average) with such a

different diet and none of the problems our little guy has - yet...

hopefully never!

I'm worried b/c my brother's baby is HUGE! In the 95th percentile, too

and only 3 months old (just breastfed).

Thanks,

Lynn

My ds has never been above the 50th percentile in height(and even

being there was very temporary) and never above the 30 percentile in

wieght.

It can be normal for babies who are exclusivly breastfed to be large

though. All that good stuff makes them grow good. Plus there are 2

different charts for infants. One for formula fed and one for

breastfed. If he has only had breastmilk, then they should go by the

breastfed chart only.

Hope that helps,

Janice, who hasn't started SCD yet, but will in a couple of weeks...
