You know what Megan, my dd was exactly 12
lbs at six months. At one year, she was15 lbs. And she is perfectly
healthy, just petite. She is nine and a half now and exactly 50 lbs. Which is
only ten lbs more than my 3 yr old. We had all the testing done when she was
very very young, and the conclusion is that she is perfect ;-D Don't
worry, you know people come in all shapes and sizes...just relax and enjoy her
smallness! Oh BTW, the dr wanted me to supplement too but I didn't because I
wanted to breastfeed- and I knew it would be the start of weaning her if I gave
her the bottle.

hi
everyone! i just got back from the pediatrician with penelope, she
turned six months old today!! it was kind of a stressful trip. first
of
all, my mother in law works for the school district and is off for
xmas
break so she asked to go, and i thought it would be harmless, so
i agreed.
we got there and she acted like a a total idiot. the trip
was stressful
enough because we got there and found out penelope has
only gained five
ounces in the last month, putting her weight at
(gasp!!) 12lbs. 11 oz. shes
25 inches long and has a head
circumference of 16 and a 1/2 inches. so
length and head size are
good, but the doctor felt she should weigh more
like 13 and a 1/2 to
14lbs. so while i had just started her on solids,
successfully, he
wants me to give them to her three times a day, instead of
just once,
and i have to go back in two weeks and get her weighed again. if
she
hasnt gained at least 5-6 more ounces, he wants to put her on a high
calorie supplement. its a little scary, but because her head size is
good
and developmentally shes up to date, he says not to be worried
yet. but
like the whole time my mother in law asked stupid comments
and questions
that made me cringe like, 'look at megans breasts,
surely the baby is
getting enough to eat' (i am well endowed) and
'whatever you want megan to
do, just tell me, since i am the mother in
law, i am the enforcer'. and
then she went on to ask if i should go
ahead and wean penelope now to make
sure shes getting enough food. my
dr kept looking at me like my other in
law was/is a nut, which i have
decided that she is. never ever ever ever
ever never will i take her
with me again. but anyway, back to
penelope...have any of you heard of
anything like ths before or know anyone
that has gone through it? i am
trying not to freak out, but i dont know.
ill keep you posted.
thanks!
megan
