Hi! My little one is in the 28th percentile. It's nothing to worry about! All it means is that out of 100 babies there are 62 bigger and 37 smaller than your little one. You should only worry if they are falling in percentiles (my Dr says they with at 10%). There have to be small babies for there to be big babies
My daughter weighed 11 pounds at 3 months but my son weighs over 13 and he just turned 3 months. Babies are just different.
My 5 month old weighs less than that and is perfectly healthy - as long as the percentile stays around the same there’s nothing wrong . My first also didn’t want me to leave the room…most babies don’t! They want to be attached to you because they spent 9 months inside your body. All sounds normal to me, you got this!!
Our son weighs about the same and is happy and healthy. He’s also a super Velcro baby too and I know it can be overwhelming but I try to just take all the cuddles I can get now. I know soon he’ll just want to run around and be more independent
My daughter is 3 months today and isn’t even 10 pounds
All babies are different! You’re doing a great job. My first was 12-13 lbs at 3 months too. Had colic, reflux, allergies, only slept on me. This 2nd baby was born weighing less than her sister and has already doubled weight. She also prefers me leaving her the play for 20-30 min and sleeps on her own best. You’re still learning the schedule & it gets easier I promise!
My daughter was 13lbs at her 3 month weight her check. She is still falling in percentiles but still in the 60 something percentile. She came out 10lbs and was in like the 90th percentile, and has been dropping percentile each month but she has still gained 1lb every month. She is a happy baby and eats when she’s hungry, so what else can I do? Every baby is different. These first few months are hard, but in a few more months we can introduce solids too
Mine was just shy of 12lb at three months. She’s at that low percentile too but my understanding is as long as she’s not losing, it’s okay that she’s slowly gaining. We’ll have her weighed again in a couple of weeks when she hits 4mo.
I was super anxious about it as my first one was much heavier at that age, but every baby is different 🤷🏻♀️
