I think my babies are in the 22nd & 9th percentile in terms of weight. Wondering if they will always be small or if they will catch up later.
Otherwise my babies are doing well at 10 weeks old or 4 weeks adjusted.

My son was born at 34 weeks and now at 3 you would have no idea he was a preemie! I believe they catch up by age 2. But don't quote me on that.

@BandDmommy: I think I remember hearing that they catch up by 2, too. Glad to know your LOs are doing well!

By birth age she's about 15th percentile. By adjusted she's around the 50th. But she's 75th for height (adjusted)! Not what I expected, as I was a very fat baby. But she's super healthy at 21w (14 adjusted).

My LO was born 5 weeks early and weighed 3 lbs 14 oz at birth. He's still under the 10th percentile for weight, but my pediatrician says he has caught up on all his milestones. He's just a small fry!

E was 5 weeks early. He was 6lbs 4oz at birth. So he was never the typical tiny preemie. However he is still behind developmental and his lungs still struggle. He is growing like a weed tho.
