Small baby?

Question

Anyone else have a small baby? My son weighs 14 pounds and he just turned 4 months old. Born 7 lb 8 oz. EBF... sound normal? Wondering if i should start solids to bulk him up a bit? 🤣

Answer

Sounds very normal, 14lbs isn’t that small, the average for a 4 month old boy is about 15lbs. I don’t think you need to do anything. 
Besides solids won’t bulk him up, they will only fill his tummy with empty calories resulting in him nursing less therefor getting less breastmilk which is full of the nutrition he needs.
