INSECURE MUMMY HERE 🥲🥹!! advice plz xxx

You shouldn't stop going just because of what you imagine they are thinking. I'm sure they're all more concerned with their own babies.

As long as she's following her own growth line don't be concerned my LO was 2nd percentile and he's still diddy now, eats like a horse but just doesn't stop!

My LG was on the 9th and the HV made me feel shit, she is still in the 9th but gaining weight in line with this. I wouldn't worry too much, so long as she doesn't lose weight.

as long as she's following the same centile / growth line in her read book then that's fine. some babies are just smaller than others 😊 ignore what ignorant people may think - babies centile / your bra size have absolutely nothing to do with how much milk you make. if you're concerned then speak with a lactation consultant (your health visitor will be able to refer you) but tbh i wouldn't worry as long as baby is content after a feed xx

All babies grow at their own rate so try not to compare! Your breast size has nothing to do with your milk supply. You say if she continues to stay small you’ll have to go to GP - has someone told you this or is it just something you are worried about? It doesn’t matter if baby is on a lower centile as long as they are following their own curve. I am petite and naturally thin, by first baby was born just over 7lb and breastfed well but is now 2.5 years old and has always stayed on the smaller and slimmer side despite eating fairly well. I also have a 6 week old and although he weighed less at birth (6lb 5) he is quite chunky now so completely different to his brother!

Typically, BF babies are leaner than formula fed babies, so it would make sense why they appeared bigger. You're giving your baby everything they need, and you should be proud of that

Just to say my daughter is 2nd percentile…they are all different. But I do find comments such as ‘she’s so diddy frustrating!’ You’re doing a great job. X

I’ve literally never looked at a baby and made any kind of judgement about how much they are or aren’t being fed, breast milk or formula. And when I see smaller babies, I’m certainly not questioning if they’re getting fed enough. I have two children, both EBF by me, my toddler who is 9th percentile and has always been more petite, and my 3mo baby who is 91st percentile and built very differently. I wouldn’t stop going to groups due to your perception of what others are thinking- I promise you they probably couldn’t care less!

Aww this makes me so sad. My son was born on the 94th percentile and dropped down to 28th percentile but he has allergies. I was breastfeeding and I have a lot of friends that do, one we say has double cream for milk as baby is big on percentiles and one friends baby is a tiny dot. You aren’t doing anything wrong, your milk is perfect. You sound like you have a perfectly happy healthy baby. They are just all different xxx

My little girl has always been 9 percentile she’s still the same at 7 years old she’s perfect 😍 xx

My baby was born 7 weeks early and was born 3lbs 2oz and was below the 2nd percentile and has always been on the 0.4th line but she’s continues to stay on that line and she’s usually the smallest one at her play group and people constantly tell me she’s small, but I only see how big my girl has gotten. She’s now 13 months and is still only 17lbs. Don’t worry what others see all that matters is you see how far your little has come.
