I always remember the old guideline of double birth wt by 6 mo and triple by 1 year. Have no idea where that came from (possibly old days of formula feeding) however , it usually seems to work fine. On my WHO chart of weight for length she is not at 15th percentile- maybe 18-20th.
A crucial question is birth wt and length and then there is what one of our techs always told moms - you don't make elephants out of mice. In other words petite parents......
How about sitting without support.?. That should be happening by around 9 months.
another problem I have noted is that some offices are using computer programs that panic parents unnecesarily. I'm old. I like real paper charts, LOL. Pat in SNJ
