small baby

brittneymcgrew

I was at Target today with my almost 8 month old daughter. Background on her: she had a single umbilical artery and was born at 37 wks. 4 lbs 11 oz. She is a small baby. Now weighing 15 lbs and right on track with all of the milestones. Lady came up to her saying how beautiful she is. She asks how old, i tell her almost 8 months. She then had the nerve to ask me if she was a "midget". How rude! I said no she is just a small baby. I didn't know what to say.

I had someone ask me if my daughter had Down Syndrome. While there is nothing wrong with DS in itself, it upset me. That's messed up. People need to stop flapping their gums when it isn't necessary!

im dealing with the same thing...my daughter is 9 months old and weighs 15.5 lbs and 26 inches. she was born at 5 lbs. im also dealing with people telling me to stop Breastfeeding because she isn't getting enough.

they think she needs formula. her pediatrician says she is staying on her growth curve, and right on with her milestones and development.
I just tell people she is just the perfect the way God made her!

@taztwister84 her pediatrician says she is just fine. Jusy petite,but very healthy. And she is on formula. She weighs 15 lbs now at 8 months. I love her being small!

the plus side of our babies being small and growing slow is...we don't have to buy clothes so often! :">

@LilSugarsMomma I work with downs kids all the time, and your daughter doesn't even appear to have it! Don't let untrained, uneducated eyes tell you that kind of crap. Your baby girl is adorable!
