Should I be worried? The doctors are not but I feel she is skinny as compared to her peers.

I honestly wouldn’t stress it if she’s meeting all of her milestones and otherwise happy !

Damn, I’m not sure how to feel about that ever since my son was born. They said he was underweight and kept giving us crazy. Looks at the doctors like we weren’t taking care of him at his doctors appointment. I took him to at nine months. He was about 18 pounds and they were giving us crazy stairs and basically acting like we were starving him, he’s now almost 16 months and he weighs 23 or 24 pounds and they’re just now saying he’s reaching his weight milestones but he’s short for his age but they kept giving us and I was worried that they were going to try to call child services saying we weren’t taking care of him, but the doctor was like he’s underweight, but he looks very healthy. He’s happy his body is well proportioned he’s just short and, a little small for his age, but they still look at us crazy I was worried

Girl my daughter will be 2 this month and she’s barely abt to hit 23 lbs! She has always gained weight slow, she’s getting taller and eats like crazy! We think that’s just how she is! Dr wasn’t worried last appointment

Mine will be 2 this month and she’s 18lbs. The doctors are always questioning us about her diet but she eats what she eats and she’s beyond her milestones so I’m not worried!

My daughter will be 2 this month and is 18 lbs, she didn’t get on the percentile chart for weight until she was around 9 months, our doctor didn’t seem super concerned because she’s happy and meeting all her milestones. I think some babies are just smaller
