Thanks DSin mummy, his weight is also because he is a picky eater.hey angie, dont worry. my 1st girl is now 2 yrs 4 mths and weighs only 11 kg too...
We always have to coax him with his fav Thomas the train to make sure he finish his porridge. He also seldom finishes his milk, always left 40-60mls. So wasteful. Other than that, he is such an angel. :tlaugh:
Not to worries mummies! My girl was born at 31 weeks. At the weight of 1.96kg. I was freaking out at that pt of time. And she was so small in size.
But overall, she took in her milk etc quite well. And at the age of coming 13 mths in 4 days time, her weight and all is very much acceptable. In fact, she is quite abit bigger in size than some other babies i've seen of her age. Hehe.
Just that probably she was born abt 2 mths earlier, her progress liek crawling etc i have to minus away 2 mths of a normal growing girl. But the rest like eating etc, she's fine. =) So not to worry mummies, cause babies who are premmiees will definitely catch up.

my baby was born at 36 weeks by emergency c-sect due to me having pre-eclampsia. when he was born he was 2.3kg and he lost weight till he 2.1kg end of 1st week. he was always sleepy and refused to drink milk also coz he had reflux problem so his feeding was like every 2 hrs.
now he's 9 mths and happily munching on 3 meals a day with 5 milk feeds. he only just started crawling.
gotta agree gotta minus off 1 mth coz he was pre-mature but that amt of time but not to worry, preemies will catch up and i even heard a lot of aunties told me that preemies are cleverer!! LOL. i hope that's true

My girl too! I think the developmental milestones should not be delayed although they are preterm. Would imagine they would have caught up by then, as opposed to the really early premies. Speech development can vary from child to child. My son uttered his first work only when he was about 15months. Boys are generally a little slower with some of these milestones too
She's 6 weeks and 4kg, up from 2.19kg at birth and I think that's quite rapid growth
Was your boy small at birth? Is he crawling?radekisner34

One of mine friend have a baby which been a premature child then doctor suggest him to keep him in glass pot for few weeks after it will gain some weight then take your baby to your home happily.And now the baby is a good and healthier child living happily.

These exercises are good for health and help you reduce the extra pounds you have gained. You can do it 5 days a week for some time. Eating certain foods can boost your metabolism if it is kind of sluggish. Your body is recovering from pregnancy.

My 8th months old baby was born a month earlier the EDD so it was 8 months and that stage was crucial month as their lungs are full of fluids...
She weigh 2.1 and now she was pretty healthy...
Preemies should have more attention as you need to look for their development.

Hi my daughter was born 2.1 kg at 37 weeks. Now she is 12 months but only 6.5 kg and 65 cm tall (way below the percentile)...she's eats everything as long they are food... her milk consumption is 150 ml 5x a day 2 x porridge (can eat one and a half bowl)...in between puffs, cheese, sometimes bread...forever asking for food...and she is very very active....sleeps one hour or less in the day time and night time 9 or 10 hours only....she does not seem to be growing fast...and i'm very worried she cannot catch up to her peers...my hubby and me are short 1.55 cm...could this be the reason? Please help!

My baby was born at 33 weeks weighing 1.9kg. Now at 13 months, he is about 10.3kg and 82cm.
I think parents will tend to give extra care to premmies so they will grow very well. And because, my son loves food just like his papa and me so that could also be why he is gaining well.
