Re: [ozmidwifery] Menstruation

Dear Jo,   Other things to consider are that birthweight often reflects conditions in the uterus.  At some stage babies move towards their genetic capacity.  What size are you and your partner?   My children started life btwn the 50th and 90th percentiles.....then moved down to between the 3rd -10th percentiles.  But then so did my sisters' bottle fed babies.  My 2nd and 3rd were weighed very infrequently.  Jo, you are so right.  Every spot on that chart is normal (and probably a few spots not on the chart) Rotten luck that you got your period back so soon, but you will continue to provide enough milk for your baby.  As another lister said, it always amazes me that we spend the first year of their life trying to fatten them, and the rest of our lives trying to thin them down.  You'd think with obesity being the new big problem we could put 2 & 2 together.   Love, Barb Barb Glare
