Weight Gain! Finally!

Last week Tuesday the doc told me that Claire is under the 15th percentile for weight.  He said she's healthy, but it still got me motivated to try and fatten her up. Today I weighed her and she has gained 8 ounces since her appointment! I know this is normal weight gain, but she had been averaging 5 ounces before, so this got me pretty excited!

Just had to share. :)

    That's great! Is there a reason why your doc is concerned that she is in the 15th percentile? I always thought if they were gaining weight it didn't matter what percentile they were in.

    My oldest has always been 98th percentile for height and 7th percentile for weight (or around there) She is 2 1/2 and only weighs about 24 lbs. But she gains weight and the doctor never said they were concerned about her weight.

    The doc isn't concerned. He said she's just small. But there were a couple weeks where she gained very little. Once it was only 3 ounces, others it was around 5, so seeing that she gained 8 in a week was exciting for this FTM.
