dd2 is 11 months old. She was referred to the hospital as she has dropped on her percentiles from the 50th at birth to now just below 9th. Her height did drop to just below 9th but is now back up to nearly 25th. She is 71cm high and weighs 7.9kg (17.7lb)
I'm not obsessed by the growth charts (she has only been weighed 5 times since birth) but I am beginning to worry a little as people have commented how small she is. And, at baby and toddler group this morning I did notice that she was smaller than nearly all the babies from about 6 months up! But, most of them are boys.
I really wasn't worried until I saw the doctor on Tuesday who I thought was going to say that as she seemed well she was probably just small but he just kept looking serious and has sent her for blood tests.
Sorry, this is really waffly - I suppose I really just want to know if she seems that tiny compared to most of her peers? Anyone else got a girl about the same age/size?
Thanks

In need of reassurance - is she really that small?
