Mine were great at gaining weight up until they crawled! Now it is soooo slow but their heights are on track/fine so I'm not too concerned. I have considered getting those toddler shake/supplement things but since the ped isn't worried, I'm not.. My DD is 2 now and she is still on whole milk, though.

well you know my LO is and always has been a peanut, but yes. She grew ahead of her curve for the first few months and then as soon as she became mobile that stopped. She's only 16 pounds no one is concerned because in her case she was small to begin with, but i get nervous and weigh her a lot still, mostly because she doesn't drink milk. that said, she's doing great developmentally, so i try not to get too concerned. your girl is perfect!!!

Do they chart the growth curve there? D hovers around the 60th percentile, sometimes higher sometimes lower. The last time we were in for a sick visit I realized he'd only gained 1.5 pounds in 2 months. But when I look at his chart he actually went from 63% at 9m3d to 68% at 11m1d.

MIne gained well until about 6 months and since then has only gained about three pounds. She also fell on her height curve, but my pediatrician is not concerned. We are not very tall (I'm 5'5 and my husband is 5'6), so here genes suggest that she will be short as well.

@lamariniere: My lo has always been on the small side, our ped isn't concerned because she's right on track for every milestone. She's 15 months and I weighed her this morning and she's still 16lbs. She has a healthy appetite, but she's super active and running all day!
