re: tiny tiny babies at 9 months?????

<blockquote><b>Quoting I'm me:</b>" They were born at 36 wks 1 day and Eli was 6 lbs 2 oz and 19.25 in and Ella was 5 lbs 7 oz and 18.5 in. ... [snip!] ... It is milk based but lactose free. The food is more for fun. Formula is their main diet they drink 6 oz 6-7 times a day."</blockquote>




Are you short? I was always like third percentile as a baby. My mom was told not to worry cause she's tiny. Maybe it's that?

<blockquote><b>Quoting kate & tilly:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Ashley; Kenley's Mommy!:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting ... [snip!] ... I think thats how they do it. How much did she weigh?"</blockquote> 6 lbs 5 oz. 18 inches. She was born at 39+4 weeks"</blockquote>



Funny, my daughter was 6.4 and 18 1/2!
She was born at 39 weeks 2 days.

According to these charts they are off the charts below the 2%

I'm 5'5" my husband is 6'6"

Ok I'd be a little concerned then. I know DD dipped a little in weight gain but her pedi said it was because babies this age are so active. Do they like snacks? I usually pump DD full of avocado. Full of good fats!

Quoting kate & tilly:" My daughter is 28 inches almost 10 months and that put her in the 47th percentile today for height. She ... [snip!] ... that made her 45 th percentile. I don't understand if I was told this is normal if you we're told it's falling off the charts?"

the boys and girls growth charts are slightly different. Your daughter is 1 inch longer and 14 oz heavier than mine at the same age.

Weird! I think DD is just going to be a short girl I'm 5'0 so it's not like I thought she was going to be big.

Yeah, dont worry. My 1st weighed 15lbs 3oz at 14mo and she was short, dont remember how short. Then she totally took off!

I live in a small town and to tell you the truth IDK if I have ever seen avocado for sale in our local stores lol.

I just plugged her stuff in and it said she was at 25 for height and 10 for weight so maybe my doctor put it in wrong today. She is bigger than your daughter.

Like I said, don't trust the ones on the internet. The doctor follows your child's own growth chart.

I love them! That makes me sad. Do they like sweet potatoes? My mom says she used to feed those to me hoping it would help me gain weight cause they're so starchy

this is the one they use. I'm getting ready to grad from RN school and it is the same ones that we use and the same one that the hospital that I done my clinical rotations at used on the L&D floor so I know these are legitimate.

they like sweet potato baby food and the Gerber sweet potato puffs.

My daughter weighed right around that at 9 months old. at 2 she still only weighed 21 lbs and she was 8 lbs when she was born so not a tiny baby. If they are healthy otherwise, I would not be concerned with them being tiny-it never caused any issues for my daughter.
