Underweight baby?

Question

My 25 week old is 26 inches tall and 15 pounds. I was told she is too skinny for her height. She eats 6-8 ounces every 3 hours or so and also has infant cereal and either a fruit or veggie each day. I don’t know how to help her gain weight because if she doesn’t want to finish her bottle or eat more, she simply won’t.

Answer

My daughter is only 11 pounds 7 oz but it’s because she’s a slow weight gainer and she’s 5 months annnnd she only eat as much as she wants which is only 3 to 4 oz

Answer

the issue isn’t where she’s started out on the curve it’s the progression. If she’s in the 20th percentile and always has been that’s fine but if she’s in the 80th and drops to the 20 then that’s a problem. Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding?

Answer

My daughter is almost exactly the same.  Doc says there is no issue

Answer

Did your doctor tell you this? My babe is the same I think, we have an appointment Friday but she has always been in the 20-30 percentile ranks for weight

Answer

Then mine would be underweight too 😂
But my doctor wasn’t worried about her weight. She is 13.2 and 25.5 in
