Momzoo - I love the car analogy! She seems to be hitting milestones (though she refuses to clap and is stubborn about walking despite cruising for four months now). We went to the ped today because Miss F ripped off her pinky toe nail (ouch!) and she had gained a pound in the last month and a half. For her, that's a big deal!StrivingSimplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171172049027223389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3630449880220519517.post-75490541487267952212013-05-29T00:10:11.551-04:002013-05-29T00:10:11.551-04:00She looks happy and healthy, I wouldn't worry ...She looks happy and healthy, I wouldn't worry either. I tend to have small babies, they are born around 7 pounds, but soon drop into the teens for percentile. My ped told me "some kids are suburbans, some civics, they all drive just fine" meaning different sizes are very normal, if they are happy and hitting developmental milestones then don't worry, and don't let the dr scare you! ;) My Lydia was only 17 pounds at a year, where as my baby now is 10 months as good solid 22 pounds, everyone is different.Momzoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378773215114729466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3630449880220519517.post-85133171891288203392013-05-22T14:10:14.264-04:002013-05-22T14:10:14.264-04:00The doctor got on my case about Red Chief—he was b...The doctor got on my case about Red Chief—he was born at a normal 8 pounds, but went down under the 10th percentile after six months or so. He didn't gain much weight; he just kind of stretched out.<br /><br />I worried about it for a few weeks, but deep down, I knew there was nothing wrong. He was happy and healthy. He ate plenty. He pooped. He was meeting his developmental milestones. So what's the problem?<br /><br />Listen to yourself. Trust your baby. If you really, truly think there is a problem, pursue the solution. If you don't think there is a problem, don't let the doctor bully you into worrying. You can't change your baby's body to make it gain more weight if that's not the way she naturally is. You're a good mom!Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517246579704472278noreply@blogger.com
