My friend baby is measuring small 3.5 pounds at 34 weeks ... What can she do to get her baby to gain weight? I don't…

@lynnx1800, sounds like baby needs to come out. That baby isn't getting enough food. And no there isn't anything she can do! It just happens sometimes. My mom had to have me out 6 weeks early cause I wasn't growing. I was perfectly healthy just wasn't growing.

protein shakes and carb loading. some babies are just meant to be small though

@candacelouise, that's what I told her but her doctor didn't suggest that just yet I guess.

@emily18234, okay I'll pass that on to her. Thanks

@lynnx1800, yeah it's not her! I mean make sure she is eating. But eating more isn't gonna do anything. The doctor will tell her if he wants to take baby out cause he sees baby isn't growing. And remember everyone is different! Baby could be a later grower. And start growing like crazy these next couple weeks.

That's just an estimated weight too, it could be off some
