My LO was 983g (2lb 1oz) at birth when she was botn 9 weeks early with IUGR.
She is now 16 weeks old and is still only 5lb 12oz.
Im just gerring really concerned cos she is still so small. Peads are a little concerned but not overly so long as she follws a centile line which she is kind of - below the 0.4th.
She is healthy and alert and puts on between 3-4oz a week - once put on 5oz. She is exclusively breast fed.
It just gets me down that she is still so small and will robably only be 8-9lb at 6mths old.
Has anyone's LO been this small or is this relaly unusual? Could there be developmental issues with her size being so small? I;m see ing her paed on 1 May but need some support and reassurance now - HV is a bit crap.
