[quote=Anonymous]OP your baby was bigger than mine at birth and at all of your reported weights and my doctor was perfectly happy that she be on her own petite little curve. I’m small, and she was 6oz larger than me at birth. I EBFd, the only “extra” thing we did was one weighted feed in the pediatricians office to make sure she was getting enough, since little babies have less margin. No supplementing, no pumping. My pediatric practice is more old school. I was monitored for IUGR during my pregnancy, and I had one really great nurse say to me basically, they now treat all small people like we’re aliens because the averages are moving upward. She pointed at me (I’m 5ft and about 105lbs when not pregnant) and said “where were you even going to put a 10lb baby?!?” I found her comforting.[/quote]
