[quote=Anonymous]OP let me tell you that some pediatricians don’t know everything.

My first son was a tiny little things born in the 6lb range and was always 1-2lbs smaller than the average baby his age. He was happy and healthy, but I got a lot of rude feedback at appointments firm the pediatrician that I wasn’t feeding him enough. He ate the recommended amount and I wasn’t willing to over feed him or add rice or solids early.

My second son was a big baby born in the 7lb range and had always been on target or 1lb bigger than babies his age. The pediatrician said he was overweight and I needed to cut feedings. I just laughed it off and kept doing what my baby wanted.

Both kids are happy and thriving. My first caught up and is now a tall and skinny 4 year old and my 2 year old is a tall and skinny kid.

Genetics play a much bigger part than most think. I wounding worry unless he gains 5lbs in a month or is 40lbs at 12 months or something. Feed your kid and gets. Second opinion. [/quote]
