Your baby fits in a Marathon? Wow, mine is 9 months and his shoulders are still below the bottom slots. He's only 16#, and 26". A peanut.

Wow, my baby just must be really really small, I guess.

was he born early?? Carter was actually born 4 weeks early at 5lbs 14oz and 17 3/4 inches...but he has grown a lot!

Quoting Carter 06-07-08:“ was he born early?? Carter was actually born 4 weeks early at 5lbs 14oz and 17 3/4 inches...but he has grown a lot!”

Nope. Born at 39 weeks, induced due to gestational diabetes. He was 8 lbs 4 oz at birth. We just found out he has reflux, so that's part of why he doesn't grow fast.

Quoting Andie.:“ My baby is only 16 lbs at 9 months. He's tiny too. My rear facing goal is 3 years old.”

My son is 10 months old and weighs 16lbs. I also plan to rear face until at least 3.

My song was 5lbs. 14oz & 17 3/4 in. long too. He was also born 4 wks. early.

That's what we use too!! I BF exclusively to 5 mo, but with the weight issues, we were trying to get his weight up w/formula and I was pumping, but I dried up.  

this isn't the best pic and it was also taken almost 2 months ago.......so he is a lot bigger now!!

I tried to BF but I could never get a supply.....I love the alimentum even though it smells horrible

Awww, he is a cutie!! I'm only 5'0 and my fiance is 5'6. So were both short too. This is when he was first born




& this is him now. 4 days from being 10 months.

I think it smells like cheese crackers.
