Anyone else with a 'slow growing' baby?

[LoveMyBaby786]

I'm not that bothered really just curious!

My son was a little tidge as a baby, actually he still is though he fits into size 2-3 clothing now!

Dd just turned 1 not long ago and is still in size 6-9 months clothing and im guessing she will be in them for a good 2 months or so yet! Everyone comments how tiny she is when i say she is 1, i don't mind as i love her little tiny self!

Anyone else have a tiny little one?

Yep, my DS is still in 18-24 month clothes! He's on the bottom percentile for weight and was off the bottom of the chart for height. DD seems to be going the same way, she was on the 50th centile for weight and now is on the 9th.

My whole family is the same so I'm not worried. With DS he got referred to the paediatrician as failure to thrive and they found nothing wrong with him so if they try to refer DD I'm going to refuse unless she actually stops growing or loses weight.

Everyone thinks DS is younger than he is so they're always surprised at what he can do. I'm a bit worried that I won't find any school uniform to fit him when he starts next year!

I have 2 tiny ones. My ds2 will be 4 next month and has just gone in to 18-24 month trousers. They have to have adjustable waists though or they will be too big. 12-18 fits him fine on the waist but are now too short in the leg. My dd will be 6 months next week and is mostly in 0-3 still. Some newborn clothes fit her still. It's rare to get something in 3-6 that isn't huge on her. People are always surprised to find out their ages lol. My ds1 is almost 10 and he's in age 13 clothes so he's completely different to the other 2.

Yes, mine is small, which is funny because my husband and I are both very tall, so we actually expected to have the opposite problem. She was 6lbs 9oz at birth, but very slow to gain weight (took her a month to regain her birth weight) and people kept asking me if she'd been premature until she was probably 3 months! She fit in her new baby clothes til 3 months and the 0-3 month stuff was huge on her at that point. She's 2.5 now and wears 18-24 month clothing. The great thing is that I do save money on clothes and shoes because they both last a long time. Probably half of her summer clothes this year are things she wore last summer that were a little too big last year, but fit perfectly now! She's been in the same pair of shoes for 6 months. So on that hand, it's great. But people are always surprised how old she is when I tell them. She's about 65th centile in weight, but somewhere between 2nd and 9th centile in height and I don't know where all the weight goes because she's slender, just very solid.

My dd2 isnt tiny, but she is petite. Definitely the smallest of all of her peers and kids at toddlers etc.
She will be two next month, and can wear 9-12, although tops can be a bit short sometimes.
No idea what weight or height she is, but she is a shorty and has teeny legs.
My other two are average/slightly above average so Ella is the odd one out.
