I had a stupid PLunket nurse (yes the one who told me to make Willie get a vasectomy *rolls eyes*) measure Sienna and try to tell me she was 2cm shorter at 3 weeks than she was at birth. Ummm, hello, babies don't shrink!]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 13:56:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14967&PID=316583&title=length-in-babies#316583 <![CDATA[length in babies : phew:) he&#039;s putting on about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14967&PID=316568&title=length-in-babies#316568 Author: ElfsMum

Yeah its normal. Daniel goes through spurts, sometimes when plunket does his length he hasn't grown in a month or so, but then others he makes up for it.]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 13:26:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14967&PID=316523&title=length-in-babies#316523 <![CDATA[length in babies : Yep that is normal they didn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14967&PID=316506&title=length-in-babies#316506 Author: Bubbaloo

I was also told that they don't take much notice of length early on, because it can be so hard to measure and so quite variable...

I wouldn't worry about it kawww, sounds like he is doing fine! ]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 13:10:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14967&PID=316488&title=length-in-babies#316488 <![CDATA[length in babies : Yep totally normal.

Yep totally normal.

Josh put his weight on in length for the first few weeks and then put it on his body.

Now firstly I'm not a Plunket person so our tape measure isnt perfect..:) but anyway was weighing and measuring Ethan yesterday..and he put on heaps of weight but no length (56 at birth and still appears to be 56) is that normal? He's 4 weeks old..


mw coming on thursday for last visit and has never measured length but I was assuming that if my measurements are correct that isn't normal? or can they grow weight and then length later?]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:53:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14967&PID=316468&title=length-in-babies#316468
