Hi All, just wanted to know what your experience was of babys weight at a few weeks/months vs their adult height.

My little boy is 5th centile for weight and 25th for height and has hovered around this since birth. I am 5ft 7 OH is 5ft 9 so i would expect him to be average height or taller (lots of tall men on my side)

I suppose i am looking for reassurance as i dont want to 'stunt' his growth, i have concerns about the amount of milk he is getting etc.

He was born at 37weeks and was ill in hospital with Jaundice for 11 days so could these be delaying his growth and he will catch up later?

Do any of you have examples of small babies growing into tall adults? I sit even possible to stunt a childs growth???

Why do you think he’s not getting enough milk @Iamnotacerealkiller?
