Hi ladies, Harrison is tiny too. He was 6lb 15 at birth but dropped to 6lb after 10 days due to jaundice and a heart defect. He's been really slow to gain since and is currently following the very bottom line (0.4th centile) for weight, length and head. He's 16 weeks now and weighs just over 10lbs - we have a friend with a 6 week old baby who has overtaken Harri's weight already! People always think he's much younger than he is

Anja is 21lb at 20m, her height is 29in. She's tiny

Yes! She's been around the 9th centile since birth. She's about 17lbs now at almost 10 months old! She looks very small but she's solid and feels really heavy, much heavier than you would think looking at her! People are always shocked when they see her pulling up on things and crawling fast and cruising, then when I tell them she's actually almost 10 months old they look so surprised!

I've just started going to a baby group in my area and he was the smallest one there I do think they catch up as they get older - bigger babies gain slower and smaller babies gain faster - I think at least, as long as they're healthy then weight isn't an issue, people come in all shapes and sizes

Will was 3lb 7oz when born, so very tiny. I loved he being small, big babies are'nt as cute. The only thing that bothers me is when someone asks his age, when I tell them everytime they get the same look as if i am lying!

Plenty of tiny babies out there, my cousin is 15 months old and has been 8kg (17 pounds) since he was about 9 months old.

My LO is on the smaller side of average, he's quite short.
