Anyone else have petite babies?

Question

My girl is 4months old and 13lbs and 24.5” long and EVERYONE comments on how little she is. She was 6lbs 12oz and 19.25” long at birth. Her dr has no concerns but people always telling me she’s tiny gets so aggravating

Answer

My baby girl was 11 pounds, 3 oz. at her 4 month check and 24 inches long. People constantly say, “she’s so tiny”. She is perfectly healthy and happy but you are definitely not alone. I was super petite as a baby as well. Don’t let people bother you, just know she is perfect just the way she is.

Answer

My daughter is 4 months and only weighs 11lbs 5oz and is 23in long. She was 6lbs 1oz at birth. Her pedi doesn’t seem to be concerned even though shes only in the 3rd percentile. I’m sure she’ll get bigger once started on solids :)

Answer

Yes she’s itty bitty people are shocked she’s almost 5 months now. She was 7lbs 7oz and 20 1/2 long at birth. She’s the smallest out of my friends babies born around the same time. I think she was in the 19th percentile last appointment

Answer

Ladies, mother of a preemie here to tell you all of these babies look huge to me, lol! My son is 6 months old and weighs 10lbs 8oz!! 😂😂😂 But he's healthy and growing consistently so dr is not worried!

Answer

my baby is petite too! at her 4mo check she was 25.5inch(shes tall but slender)  and 13.3lbs. Dr said to increase feedings at start food without lowering her formula to fatten her up some lol. but she didn't seem worried.  she's just a tal skinny girl.  I wish I could say the same thing about myself.

Answer

He was 6lbs 7oz at birth not too sure what he is now but he’s tiny and I always get comments on it

Answer

Same! At her 4 month (+2 weeks due to scheduling conflicts) appointment, my baby was 13.7 pounds and 24.5 inches long. They said she was below average on weight but her length was good, so they’re not worried either! 
This was her back then, after her appointment actually! She’s now almost 6 months!

This is her now, lol she’s always photographed looking big but everyone says how tiny she is! She does have some chunky thighs though lol

Answer

She was 22.5” long and 14 lb 3oz at her 4 month appointment... doctor was worried because she is in 2% for height ... she comes from a long line for short people so I’m not worried. She was 18.5in at birth and 6lb8oz

Answer

Yup mine is 25in and 13lbs. Happy and healthy!
