Anyone have smaller babies?!?

Question

I see all these cute chunky babies and my LO is a cute string bean!! Lol. Anyone else have a baby that’s following their own curve???

Answer

My son was born with 7,7% curve but it was decreasing and decreasing to 3%. I tried so hard to breast feed a lot and supplement with formula. Around 8 weeks finally his weight became better and better and now he is between 35-40% - 17 weeks old, and EBF.

Answer

My boy is on the smaller side, hes chunky but compact and small for his age compared to his peers, he's been on the 10-15% curve since birth, he's only 3.5 months but if you see him sleeping people think hes younger. When hes awake and interacting is when you can see his real age.

Answer

Yup! My son is a peanut. 💙 I call him my lean bean.

Answer

My oldest was like this. At 7 he is still smaller than most kids his age but he seems to be catching up now. Most pediatricians aren't concerned as long as they are following their own curve. His younger brother is over in his height but under in his weight but he's been following his curve.

Answer

My 2.5 year old has hovered at the 25th percentile since he was born.

Answer

My son wasn’t in the growth chart at all until he was 9 months old. He’s 3 now, and 50% for weight and 10% for height. Some babies are just small.

Answer

My second babe is a little string bean too. It’s so funny because my first was in the 90th percentile, still like 85% at almost 4, so he was a chunky boy. My second had to be delivered early due to IUGR and he was teeny tiny, 4.5 lbs 🥲 started off in the 1st percentile and now at his last appt was in the 11th I think. He’s was 16 lbs at his 6 month appointment.

Answer

Yes! My daughter was undiagnosed IUGR at birth 4.7 pounds at 39 weeks. She is now almost 6 and has never caught up. She has always been on her curve. Growing just petite ! I believe she is maybe 38 pounds at 6.

Answer

My oldest daughter. She followed the 3% curve.  She's still small at 15 years old - only about 85lbs.
