Hey hunny as you know Lili weighed 4lb 7 at birth, she is 29 weeks and only weighs 12lb 10, but I think she`s just meant to be little lol. She`s cheap to buy clothes for as they last her so long!! She was 75th centile at birth and is now somewhere between 2nd and 9th.

Hi my daughter was born at 30+5 and weighed 3lbs 10ozs. She is 5 weeks old now and weighs 5lbs 3ozs she is on the 50th centile. The hv was surprised as prem babies are normally below that . Abbie did drop to 2lbs 12ozs after birth but gained very quickly.

hi there my lo was 4lb 15 born and she is now almost 2, she had a lot of problems with eatting so her weight gain was quiet slow but constant at 33wks she weighed 13.11and a half so i would say if your lo is anything like mine then he's well on his way. we found that we had weeks where she's put no weight on and others she's put on a few oz's never very much at a time then when she hit a year old the weight just piled on she is now a wopping 27 pounds and doesn't look like a small baby at all. her little sister is our average size baby but very long and she seems to put a pound on a week and is already half dd1's weight at only 15wks lol but as long as he isn't teething, unwell then i'm sure he will soon put more weight on and amaze you like my little raskal did. hth
