From: a worried mum, Seeing the view of my 7mths daughter's weight was 5kg. She is at 1 percentile which is low. She is drinking well 150ml 3 hrsly and eating solid bits n bits. The gp doctor advised me to see specialist at kk hospital to review my daughter's weight. The doctor said might be something is wrong with her organs inside which he think it is best to check it out. But I find that it is too young for my baby. Any mummies have the same situation as me as i am getting worried for her weight? As for me, i am a skinny mum eat alot but never grow fat.

Hi, I think that it is only responsible advise to say that you should follow the doctor's advise because 1% is really very low. I feel that it is best to see if there are any underlying cause that might be hindering her from growing better. It's not really a fair statement if you want to use her "skinny genetics" to explain about your child's growth as right now the child is not really hitting the marks which are important in the early stages of life. I strongly encourage you to go for the specialist check just to be sure of anything and everything. That way, you won't feel bad about your child's weight/size whenever it is bringing brought up by family/medical staff
