We had the boys weighed and measured at their check-up last week.
Ethan
Weight – 11.95kg (26lb 6oz)
Height – 85cm (33.5inches)
Benjamin
Weight – 10.60kg (23lb 6oz)
Height – 83cm (23.7 inches)
Ben’s always been the smaller twin, his weight at birth was about 10th percentile. He maintained on that 10th percentile for most of his first 12 months. Late last year when we saw the dietician, she told us Ben’s weight was sitting about 15-20th percentile. She gave us strategies to help him gain weight and said she’ll be happy with his weight, so long as he maintains or improves on the growth curve. Unfortunately, he’s dropped back to the 10th percentile again. This may be due to his illness the other week, when he didn’t eat properly due to a sore throat for a few days. We’ve emailed the dietician about his most recent weight and we’re waiting to hear back to see what she says.
