so we went to the dr yesterday for a possible ear infection.  thankfully its clear, but the weight in worried me a little bit.  she's 2 weeks shy of a year and is 17 lbs 7 ounces. I have so many people ask me if she's 6-9 months old. guess we'll see what the pedi says at her 1yr apt.

    That's small, but not off the charts. 6%

    Hopefully the pedi isn't worried. Has she been on that growth curve the whole time for the most part?

    DD was 18lbs 2 oz and 29 1/2 in last week at the doctor. Her year appt is Thursday so we will see what they say.

    Has she always been small? DD1 has always been tiny for her age but my pedi isn't worried bc she is following her growth curve. I think they get concerned when they drop off.

    DD is in the 5th percentile. Her pedi is not very concerned. She's always been small, and I was a small baby too. I worry sometimes, but I just try to feed her nutritious food as much as I can. There's not much else you can do. I give DD a lot of dairy and avocado to help keep her weight up.

    she was 34th for weight and16th for height at 6 months. so I don't know.  doc didn't say anything but this wasn't her usual pedi who is out on maternity until October.  so guess we'll see what they say at her 12mo wellness the first week of September.

    D has been in the second percentile all along. The only thing his pedi said was to feed him as much as he wants whenever he wants including middle of the night. D was 18lbs 8oz and 28 1/2 inches at his 12 month checkup

    My DD is itty bitty, too. She weighed 17lbs 2oz a few weeks ago. She's still on her growth curve though. DS on the other hand is (comparatively) a bruiser at 23lbs (give or take an oz). People often refuse to believe that they are twins because he is so much bigger than she is. They're especially shocked when they find out that technically she is older than him.
