[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my first baby 2 weeks ago. He was born at 6lbs 2oz. He was full term. I was very worried because that is very small for a full term baby. I read boys are meow 7-8lbs. The doctor assured me that it’s normal and nothing was wrong. He did lose weight but regained his birth weight at 2 weeks. Are some babies just small? [/quote]

Who told you that was "very small"?[/quote]

OP here. Family and friends. [/quote]

Please don't worry. I'm sure they were just saying "Oh he's so tiny!" but not in a "he's sickly and emaciated!" way. I feel like this is just something people say. "He's so precious!" "He's tiny!" "What a chunk!"

My babies were small too- my full term baby was 6lbs 14oz and she's now 99th percentile for weight and height at age 6. My 33 weeker was 4lbs 10oz. DH and I are both very tall. Your baby is doing great!![/quote]

This -  my DS was 6lbs at full term. He’s always been tall and skinny but very healthy and strong. Trust me once you start multitasking you’ll appreciate having a smaller baby - it’s easier to carry them in one hand 😊 [/quote]
