[quote=Anonymous]My baby just turned 8 weeks old and the pediatrician again mentioned his weight and how he is small. She has mentioned that at every appointment we have had. He is gaining weight but he is a smaller baby. She keeps talking about baby averages and how he is not on par with other boys his age. I was so worried that I even switched to exclusively pumping to make sure he was eating enough. When that didn’t work, we supplemented at the advice of the pediatrician. Now he gets a milk so pumped milk and formula. I’ve even done a full week of formula to see if my breast milk was the issue and he gained the same amount that he normally gains with breast milk and formula so I switched back. I feel like a failure every time I leave an appointment. I’m wondering if we should seek a second opinion. My question to you is are some babies just small regardless? He is on his growth curve but he is small for a baby his age. [/quote]
