Is it okay my 7.5 month old is only 16.5 pounds? She’s ebf and eats 5 times during the day and 2-3 times at night. She’s been gaining, just slowly.

My daughters were both petite and weighed around the same. They were only 19lbs at 1 year and perfectly healthy. They are 5 & 7 now and still petite weighing 35 & 42 lbs.

That’s great! thank you :) did their percentiles ever drop?
Mimi··
yes they did they both were good sized babies my 7 year old was 8lbs and she was born at 38 weeks and my 5 year old was 7lbs at 37 weeks so there percentiles def dropped. My doctor was never concerned.

thank makes me feel SO much better. Thank you!!! I was worried she wasn’t eating enough but she seems content and happy and hitting her milestones
Uhhhh·
As long as she has doubled birth weight than it's fine.
As long as she gains but doesn't lose

She was 8 pounds at birth so she has just doubled! Her percentile has dropped though

My oldest was always in like 15% for weight but 98% for height. She's tall but very petite.
I'm tiny myself (never over 100 lbs) and her dad is 6'3 and average at 225 lbs.
It's just not in her genes to be big. At 1 she was only 18 lbs. She's now almost 7 and just broke 40 pounds.
