littlecook & 臻媽,
My bb weighed 3 percentile at birth and slowly became 25% tile at 3 months old. When we weighed him at 4 months old, he's still 25% but at 7 months old, he became 3%-tile. From 4-7 months, he only gained 500g!!! So, we got a refferal to see a paediatrician and she did some blood test (to check iron level) and also took a stool sample. Blood test came back saying my bb's haemoglobin level is OK but iron store (spare iron) is a bit low. I have already been feeding him pork everyday! I was told beef has muchmore iron so I fed him. Unfortunately my bb's allergic to beef (he has ezcema too). The paediatrician also prescribed some iron supplement for my bb. The doctor also says as long as bb's happy and active (my bb crawls fast at 6 months old), weight shouldnt be a problem. And if his length growth and head circumference is OK, then it should be fine.
If you are worried, see a paediatrician for a blood test.
My BB was at 3 percentile at birth and grew up to nearly 25 percentile at the 6th month, but drop back to 3 percentile now! For the height, I don't know whether she's become taller or not, since its difficult to measure, and her feet have become straighter than before and can't be compared. I guess it's still at 3 percentile. For the HC, it's always at 3 percentile. She's an extraordinary small baby instead!
Did your baby see a private doctor or a public one in the Child and Mother Care Centre? What's the cost of the blood test?
