Weight worries
Hi
Amelia is 10 months old and was born 5 weeks early at 5lb 7oz
she is still BF by me and has 3 meal per day albeit very small portions. She likes qavers and occasionally she will sit and eat toast or banana as finger food etc.. I make her meals but if she was having a small jar she would not finish it (just to indicate how much she eats)
Her weight was plotted as actual and she is on 0.4th centile. Age corrected she is on the 9th centile..
She weighs 15lb 15oz.
I am not overly worried as she is healthy, never gets ill (tho she had virus last week) and is happy. the hospital are wanting me to stop feeding her and give her some baby milk with iron and vitamin drops too.
What do you all think. she is my 5th but my ony prem baby.
Thanks

When I was a baby my mum had to take me to the paeds because I was a bit underweight and they just said I was a healthy baby who was a bit smaller than others. Im still skinny 32 years later despite eating a healthy diet, its just how I am.
