Small babies? 🩷

My girl is 15 weeks and 5.8kg. She was 4 weeks early and was on 91st centile based on her corrected age but has dropped to below 50th in 8 weeks. She is also not a big eater no matter what I do, she sleeps really well and when she is awake she is very active and happy. I’m going to try to worry less for now, all babies are different and her length has dropped too so I think maybe she is just levelling out 🤷🏼♀️ She will be weighed again in 4 weeks so will see how that goes I guess
Mine is 5.4kg at 18 weeks, he's on 0.4th centile. Very happy though and HV is not concerned. Also not a great eater. I am trying to stop worrying about his weight but it's hard!
@julie So hard! Feel like every time it’s a struggle there’s so much anxiety but also don’t want to project that onto baby
My little boy is 5KG at 15 weeks, extremely active and meeting all milestones just a smaller baby who burns more calories 🥰 Myself & my husband aren’t tall either so sometimes genetics can play a part!
@Chloe Yea we are not big either! I’m 5’1 and hubby isn’t super tall. Reassuring to know there are other happy and active smaller babes ☺️
We are 19weeks tomorrow and only 5.1 kg. Breastfed and refuses any top up feeds from a bottle. We’ve been seen by a paediatric doctor who said he is well in himself otherwise
@Kyhane Bless him. I empathise, we’ve had some bottle aversion issues too when combining with breastfeeding. It’s a struggle!
My baby is 17 weeks but was 7 weeks early born at 6lbs 4oz. She is 5.5kg too. X
