Small baby

Anyone else? My daughter is almost 8months old and she’s 13.5 lbs🥲🥲🥲 she finally moved up to 3-6 but most things are too big. Doctors not worried since I’m also small but even my aunts 4 month old is bigger than her😂

My baby is the same, he's very healthy, energetic, and the doctors are not worried either, xx ❤️

My daughter is 10 months and 17lbs 6oz. However, she was very poorly at birth and spent 3 months in nicu. If shes eating and drinking well and shes very energetic then don’t worry too much. If you are concerned then ask to be referred to a dietitian who could help. We had to use high calorie milk to help her gain weight x

im exclusively pumping aside from now she has purées so that’s mainly why I was worried about it, like maybe it’s my fault and my milk is keeping her from getting what she needs but the doctor wasn’t concerned so I don’t know we have another check up in a month of see if she’s gaining weight like she should and then we will reassess

I was breastfeeding her until 6 months and i found after that and when she moved onto formula she gained weight a bit better because i felt the same as you. But i also struggled getting her to wean. Shes only just started to eat proper food these last 2 weeks. Its so difficult because every baby is different. As long as the doctors have no concerns. Just keep trying her with foods, and maybe get her weighed regularly to keep an eye on it if you’re getting worried?

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.
