Avatar f tn You should be concerned if her weight goes above the 95th percentile (‘off the growth chart’). Right now she is fine as long as she is growing at a steady rate. Try to increase her physical activities, which will be healthy for her regardless of her weight.
Avatar n tn His weight is just below the 5th percentile line and his height is just below the 10th percentile for his age. The height and weight are in the growth chart; however, the weight is on the bottom. Maybe the following will help you to know the amounts of food he needs daily to gain weight. Guideline for a 9-12 month old child should eat the following: Breast-milk or Formula (6-8oz) 3-5 feedings a day, Dairy 1 serving a day – cheese (1/2 oz) or yogurt (1/2 cup).
Avatar f tn I'm 35 weeks on Thursday and my son is measuring in the 8th percentile and i was wondering if anyone has had this happen an what did your ob/ midwife do? I have a doc apt.
Avatar f tn The doctors usually put their height and weight on a chart and let you know what percentile they fall into. If you are that concerned, I would have a physical done so that you can get an idea of where he is and where he should be. The doctor can then let you know what course of action to take.
551604 tn?1333983135 Well, Reece was in the 78th percentile for his weight at my 24w4d appointment. Like Kiki explained to me when I was freaking out about that...50th percentile is right on the money, so our little ones are a little over average.
Avatar f tn I replotted his measurements and you are correct his height is at 75th percentile and his weight is between the 10-25th percentile which indicates his is normal for his age. He is not underweight. If you are still concerned, then suggest the above recommendations.
Avatar f tn Her weight is between the 5-10th percentile and her height is below the 5th percentile for her age. She is still on the growth chart for weight which is good, and she maybe just small in stature. Does the family have a history of small women? That is good you are using milkshakes and Pediasure. Suggest giving her milkshakes in place of milk at every meal. Make sure she is eating a protein food each meal (meat, fish, cheese, or yogurt) too.
Avatar m tn It is very difficult to come up with innovative sollution for his food. He was at high percentile (90) when he was born and he has falling on the percentile chart ever since he has been started on solids. What are the things I can try to give him to increase his weight. He can eat all the fruits chicken/lamb veggies ( except beans and peas)/ I am most concerned about his calcim intake. Any advice would really help a long way.
280369 tn?1316702041 Trinity is 3months 2 days and on friday she weighd 14 lbs and is 24 inches long and dr said she is in the 96th percentile if im not mistaken. I thing the growth chart is different for boys, i have a book somewhere around here that has the weight and growth chart on it, the same one they use in dr office to keep record, i will look for it and post it 2mrw nite if you havent found the answer by then, or try googling growth charts and compare it from girls and boys.
Avatar n tn His weight is just above the 5th percentile and his height is on the 10th percentile for his age. His is within the growth chart which indicates he is normal for his age. He is going into puberty and will be growing. Males can grow until the early 20's. Genetics plays a part in stature. Are the males in the family on the smaller side?
Avatar f tn His weight just below the 75th percentile and his height is below the 5th percentile for his age. Most children appetite decrease when they are not feeling well. Suggest feeding him 5-6 small frequent meals which may help increase his intake. If you are still concerned suggest having him checked at his Doctor.
Avatar f tn Has your son been dropping down the percentile chart or has he been pretty steady at the third percentile? How is he doing with other milestones- any delays?
Avatar n tn Her weight is on the 10th percentile and her height is just above the 10th percentile for her age. She is on the growth chart which is good. She was born early so she is alittle on the smaller side but as long as she is growing steadily, no matter how slow, she will be fine. Suggest giving her Pediasure in place of milk or milkshakes (milk, ice cream and fruit blended together) or yogurt smoothies (yougurt, milk, and frozen fruit blended together) for extra calories and protein.
Avatar f tn From your measurements both his height and weight are just below the 5th percentile for his age. He was born premature so he will falls below 'normal' children growth chart. As long as he growing and gaining weight at a steady rate, no matter how slow, he is developing normal. Suggest in place of milk (milk, fruit, and ice cream blended) or yogurt smoothies (yogurt, milk, and frozen fruit blended).
Avatar f tn Her weight is just below the 5th percentile for her age which is below the weight chart, and her height is on the 25th percentile. Has she been tested for lactose intolerance which has similar symptoms (stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea)? Based on her weight / age, she should be consuming approximately 2000-2200 calories per day for her to grow as recommended the following; Fruits = 2 cups; Vegetables 2.5-3 cups; Grains (cereals, breads) = 6-7oz equivalents; Meat & beans = 5.
Avatar f tn Eating more will just make you put weight on. I have put on lots of weight but my baby is small. It is not even reaching 10 centile. But she is growing so i am not too worried at the moment.
Avatar f tn All that matters is that they grow proportionate according to their growth chart. As a matter of fact , my two year old measured 90 percentile in length, head curcumferance, abdomen, and weight. She is now in the 60 percentile in everything. Shes doing great. i guess once she was born, she was alot more active which is why shes now in the 60 percentile. Going through the same thing again probably, except this one is a boy. I think alot of this is genetic and use to go unnoticed.
Avatar n tn but i am very much worried about his weight gain.he is just in the 10 th percentile in his growth chart. please advice me.
Avatar f tn Please accept my apologies, however, his height is between 50-25th percentile and his weight is on the 10th percentile. He is still within the Growth Chart and normal for his age. Still recommend what I stated to help him gain weight.
Avatar n tn His weight is between the 10-5th percentile and his height is just below the 5th percentile for his age. He is not underweight (he is still in the normal range of the Growth Chart) and his height maybe due to genetics. Are there males in the family that have small stature? Based on his weight / age, he should be consuming approximately 1800 calories per day as recommended the following: Fruits (limit fruit juices) = 1.5 cups; Vegetables 2.
Avatar n tn Your daughter is in the 5th percentile for her weight and height for her age so she is not 'off' the chart. I have to agree with her MD, as long as she is steadily gaining weight and growing (even if it is slow) she will be fine. Some children are small and it has to do with genetics. If her appetite is good and she eats her meals, then she is ok.
Avatar f tn My daughter has continuously been measuring pretty underweight being only in the 5th percentile for weight. At 18 weeks she was only 6.7oz. And exactly 2 weeks later at 20 weeks she only weighed barely 10oz. They are pretty concerned with how small she is measuring and I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check for growth. My belly has not gotten any bigger in the last month which worries me about her not gaining any weight.
Avatar f tn At 20 weeks last Friday, my baby boy was 12 ounces. I asked the tech if that's a good weight and she said yes. She's seen between 8 ounces and a pound at 20 weeks so it sounds like it's pretty average in that range. You were also a week ahead of me so maybe mine will be a pound at 21 weeks.
Avatar n tn His weight is just below the 10th percentile and his height is just below the 50th percentile for his age. He is still within the growth chart which is good. Some children need to learn how to swallow and chew or needs help with textured foods. That would not be a reflection on your parenting. Some children just do not know how to do it and need to be taught which takes time and patience.
Avatar f tn Her weight is just below the 5th percentile and her height is on the 10th percentile for her age. Based on her weight / age, she should be consuming approximately 1800 calories per day for her to grow as recommended the following; Fruits = 1.5 cups; Vegetables 2.5 cups; Grains (cereals, breads) = 6oz equivalents; Meat & beans = 5oz equivalents; Dairy products (milk, yogurt) = 3 cups; Oils = 5 tsp; Additional calories to be used discretionary = 195.
Avatar f tn m kind of confused, Nat. It looks like your boy is below the 10th percentile for weight - is there some reason your doctor doesn't want him gaining weight? It would seem a child so small would be given extra nutrition if he's asking for it. Also, I don't understand the advice to give your baby water when he's crying for milk. I think if you search around on baby websites, you won't find one that recommends giving bottles of water to a 3 month old.
Avatar f tn His weight is on the 95th percentile and his height is between the 5-10th percentile which indicates he is within the Growth Chart and he is not overweight yet for his age. He may appear overweight due to his lower stature in relation his weight. He needs approximately 2000 calories a day to grow because he is still a child. He will be entering puberty and will be physically changing. As he gets older he may lose weight.
