baby slow growth

[Muumof2]

What do people think of growth charts? My baby girl is 2 months old and although she is growing every week she is steadily climbing up on the 2nd centile line only. She was born on 35th centile but then dipped a lot in the first week (lost 13% weight) and then has been growing steadily on the 2nd centile. My first baby was also small but grew faster and at this same age was more than a pound heavier (she's 8lb 12oz at 2 months, born 6lbs 5oz).
She's happy and content baby and my instinct tells me she's fine and just naturally small but then every time I get comments on how dinky she is I question myself? I'm bf only. Should I add formula? Maybe my milk is not enough?

If this is not the right board, will you let me know where appropriate to post this?

Have you spoken to HV about it? My DS is 3 months and weighs 12lb 5 he's on the 25th centile he was born 8lb 13 but lost a lot of his weight in the first week. It took him 4 weeks to reach his birth weight again. I exclusively breastfed and HV told me to keep going and as long as he confined to gain weight on his trend line he was ok... I would seek advice tho for piece of mind though but I'm sure he's fine:) x

Continued not confined! Oops

my baby us 17 weeks, breastfed and tiny. She is on a low centile can't remember which one but she has been on that pretty much since the beginning. I was concerned at first but with reassurance from family and health visitor I now know she is just little.

If she's consistently following the 2nd line now, then I wouldn't worry. DD was born on the 50th line but quickly dropped to 9th. She grew very slowly but did stay on the line (minus the odd week when she dipped a bit here and there). The 9th was obviously 'her' line and it was where she was meant to be.

She was a content baby, EBF, slept through the night (7-7) at 4 months, was bright and alert, had normal nappies etc. There was no reason for me to worry that she wasn't getting enough to eat. She was just meant to be small!
