[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, your baby is on the small side. It also sounds like your baby is healthy and growing steadily. Both things can be true. Keep breastfeeding if you want. (Or stop if you don’t want to— you’re lucky your baby accepts both.) It’s impossible for everyone to have high percentile babies. By definition half of all babies are going to be below the median and half are above. Your baby is perfectly healthy! Let go of trying to make him jump percentiles and enjoy your baby![/quote] [b]Many parents supplement and baby takes both. It’s not rare[/b]. [/quote] Okay? It wasn’t normal for me. Each of my kids threw up immediately with formula. Later we found out they had food allergies. Still it was super stressful not to be able to supplement. Again, the point is to be happy about what works and not overthink it. Enjoy the baby you have. [/quote]
