Hey Ladies!
I have not been on here for about a month...life has been busy
I have a question regarding DD weight...
I weighed DD a few days ago (have not weighed her since her 12 month check up) and she is only 21lbs! (and a few ounces) I am pretty sure that is kinda low. She has a new doctor and we won't be able to see her until November for her 18 month check up (even though she will be 19 mons) I am kind of worried. She eats well and is a happy active baby otherwise.
How much do your LO's weigh?
Re: weight
DD is a tank. She's 33 1/2" tall and about ~31lbs. She doesn't stop moving all day long, she's so darn busy. If your DD eats well and is happy and active I wouldn't worry at all. There is a HUGE range of normal.
My niece is 20months old about 22lbs, and about 2" shorter than DD. She's super healthy, just very petite. It's very strange having the cousins together with this contrast.

At his 18 month appt he was 31.5 " and just under 26 lbs.
If she's eating well I wouldn't worry too much about it. She could just be petite.
I don't have a full grasp on why you're worried. Has she lost/not gained at all since her 12 month appointment? You said she eats well, is healthy etc.. so I don't think her weight is an issue at all.
Nora's 18 month appointment is in about 2 weeks. She was 23 lbs at her 15 month appointment. I'm going to guess that she's about 25-26 lbs now, but she's always been higher on the weight percentile chart (lowest point was 60th%ile).
Where has your LO typically fallen on the charts?

E is pretty tiny herself--she was under 20 lbs at her 15 month and I am pretty sure she isn't too far over it right now (just over 17 months).
I totally understand being concerned, I always worry a little until the pedi tells me she is not worried at her appointments. If DD is eating, pooping, peeing and acting normal, I am pretty sure she is fine! If she is losing weight or has other "signs" of something wrong, maybe try to move her appointment up.
Thanks for the feedback ladies!
I know she eats fine and runs around all day but I guess I am just a tiny bit worried because weight wise she seems a little behind.
Can't wait to see what the doctor says in November
