@pentie2003 My daughter was 7lbs 6oz and 19 inches long at birth, her cousin was born a year later at 8lbs 13 oz and 21.5 inches. By four months, the girls charts showed the same height and, by 6 months, my niece was smaller than my daughter had been.
My daughter went from 50th percentile at birth, to 97th percentile by 4 months for height (70th for weight), and she’s kept to that since. My niece was a big baby, but went down to 50th percentile for height and weight, and has kept at that.
Children are individuals. They grow and develop at their own pace. To be quite frank, a smaller baby just seems like you get more use out of the clothing and shoes than my beanstalk of a child who just outgrew all her 2T clothing, and her second birthday was two months ago. I have dresses and adorable clothing that she only wore once as a baby, because she’d outgrown it so fast.
