Last time someone thought he was a month and he was actually almost 12 weeks :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-small-baby#post-1930463 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:39:46 +0000 twodoghouse 1930463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but they are twins so preemies are more likely. My son was 4 lb 15 oz at birth and gained very slowly at first. What was the funniest was when people were like "whoa, your baby can hold up his head already?!?!" But he was already 3 months old and strong. He was just little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-small-baby#post-1930462 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:39:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1930462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't go out much since it was the winter. olive was 4 lbs 15oz at birth and was such a peanut! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-small-baby#post-1930456 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:36:31 +0000 stargal 1930456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: funny thing is d was 7 pounds ten ounces at birth! We just had weight gain issues in the beginning and both my kids always start off big at birth and then lose weight and stay tiny.<br /> Sometimes its just hard to hear, like I'm not feeding him enough or something </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-small-baby#post-1930442 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:29:03 +0000 winniebee 1930442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got asked this a lot with T - he wAs only 5lb 5oz when born so at 2 months he still was the size of a newborn!</p> <p>I suspect we will have the same issue with baby brother. He's going to be a peanut as well. I've learned not to care what other people say or think. My first son was a healthy full term but small kid. It's just genetics since dad and I are small. He's still small at 2.5 and I don't ever want him thinking that he is at a disadvantage in life because of being small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-small-baby#post-1930434 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:26:10 +0000 stargal 1930434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you get asked if they were a preemie? I get asked this a lot with d. A lot strangers also think hes a newborn....he's over 2 months old! </p>
