Weight
Okay so on the picture it shows that she was at 25th percentile but that was a time that they weighed her with clothes on so it was a messed up weight. So she’s mainly stayed around 10th percentile. She’s always eating and she eats very well. Breast feeds quite often and have started her on lactose free milk. Her doctor claims that she underweight but I don’t see how. Her 9m she didn’t weigh down her swing. She could still use it but now she can’t use it cuz it doesn’t swing. She feels heavier to carry around. I feel like she’s following my body stature. Both me and her dad are small and slim and have high metabolism. So she is like us. Not to mention she was tiny when she was born she was around 6.6 and went down to 5.13. So I don’t get why she’s being called underweight. She hasn’t lost weight at all. I even asked her doctor what I could do to help her gain a little weight and all she did was criticize me in a round about way.

it’s hard to explain. She just kept saying well maybe she needs therapy. Make sure you’re doing what you need to do along certain “attitude” type looks. Like she’ll roll her eyes slightly or have this look like she doesn’t believe me. Like I have a 7 year old. This is not my first time.
She is under the average weight. But that's okay! Not everyone can be average! If baby is eating well and still gaining weight I wouldn't worry about it. Some kids just start smaller and grow slower. Nothing wrong or unhealthy about that.
that’s what I was thinking. It even looked like she went up very little since last appointment so idk if her doctor is just not thinking I’m doing what needs to be done because she’s even upset because my daughter isn’t crawling or pulling herself up on furniture.
