I took Ava to be weighed on Thursday and unfortunately she had only put on 4 ounce since last month. I knew she wasn't going to be very heavy because she hadn't been eating much lately. The health visitors told us it was because she wanted to feed herself but we think it must have been because she was getting her tooth and then had a cold which probably caused her to lose her apetite (Graham had the same one a week ago and said he just didn't want to eat at all.) She has started eating again thankfully, although not as much as before but at least now she finishes a meal.
She did really well on dinner tonight, she had about 100g of creamy pasta carbonara and 125g of creamy porridge for dessert. I'm trying to give her more fatty foods right now to bring her weight back up. It seems as though her apetite is coming back though :)
So as of April 1st Ava weighed 18lbs which put her just slightly above the 25th percentile. She had been following the 50th line almost perfectly since she was born but maybe we'll be able to get her back up there by next months check up.
