My 12 weeks baby girl was born on the 8th centile for weight (2.7kg), dropped for the 2nd centile in the 1st two weeks. She’s stayed on the 2nd centile for weight ever since. She’s very happy healthy and alert. I just worry about her being so small with a tiny petite (but very cute) face. It’s hard when all I see are these chubby babies! Just looking for some support, do they fill out or look abit chubbier/chunkier later down the line?

Hi Jazz! Honestly don’t worry too much if she’s healthy and happy! My little girl was in the 9th centile when she was born and now at 13th months, she’s in the 50th centile. She’ll be ok :)

My girl was in the 5th when she was born, dropped down to less than one percent, and finally made it back to the 1st percent at her 9 month! For my babies weight to height she’s in the 74% so she’s by no means skinny haha she’s a short chunky girl
