Teen Small Baby

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 ALL INFORMATION CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

Both of my babies were teeny-tiny, barely-on-the-charts, bite-sized peanuts. I used to call them my little chickens because their limbs were so long and scrawny that they really did look kinda chicken-like. No plump roly-poly bellies or fat cheeks or dimpled thighs over here. They were lean, mean, baby machines. My vagina and I were very thankful to only have to push out those 6-pounders, but after they were born, it turned into a full-time job worrying about keeping weight on them.
My only consolation was that we live at a high elevation and a lot of the babies look on the smaller side up here. Sitting around at baby story hour at the library, most of the kids toddle around on stick-skinny legs with their diapers and pants all falling down at the same time. They all catch up in grade school, so I’m not sure why the babies always seem so tiny. One theory is that they are just working so hard trying to get enough oxygen into their lungs that the fat just melts right off them. I really wish that’d work for me.
Over the years, there are some basic truths that I learned from having small children, and here they are:
1. People will ask you if are feeding them. Of course, I freaking feed them. I spend my whole life thinking about what to feed them. And even if your doctor continues to reassure you that your child is following their own growth path, if you’re an overachiever, you’ll still want to get them fatter.
2. You will worry about the quality of your breast milk all the time . I would think, “Is it just water coming out of there?” And you will justify eating all sorts of dessert and bacon products because that just has to make my breast milk fatty, right? 
3. You can babywear those kids until they head off for college.
4. You will do crazy stuff to put weight on them like dump olive oil into their oatmeal and add avocados and bananas and cheese to absolutely everything. You will know the calorie-counts for everything, and your children won’t be strangers to full-fat ice cream.
5. You will celebrate the day they make it onto the weight chart. My daughter was almost 2, and she made the second percentile for weight. This was a huge deal, and I might have cried.
6. Nothing will fit them, ever. At 10, my son fits into the corresponding numbered clothes to his age — for the first time in his life. I used to think that all other kids must surely be giants because the clothes were so huge.
7. They will be running much sooner than you are ready for them to. At least mine did. They didn’t have any extra weight to haul around and they just took off sprinting one day. Mobile 9-month-olds who have absolutely no good decision-making skills make for lots of adventures and high blood pressure.
8. Your mother will fret about all of this more than you. Mine fretted a lot . My mom loves to feed people, especially baby people. She needed them to be chunky and well-fed-looking and that just wasn’t happening, so she stressed out (which stressed me out).
9. You will look at the folds of fat on your friends’ babies with awe. I remember seeing that my friend’s child had creases in the middle of her arms. I had never seen such a thing before. What do you do with all those crevasses during bathtime?
10. You will be limited to buying only the brands of pants that have those tabs in them to cinch up the waist.
11. They can use the same bathing suit for about five years. My daughter still wears a 2T swimsuit bottom and she’s going to be 6 in September. True story.
12. Your child will get very angry when strangers think they are younger than they really are. This makes trips to the grocery store even more awkward than usual.
13. When they get sick and don’t eat, this will be awful for you. Those days were so stressful because they couldn’t afford to lose any of that precious weight that took me months to put on them.
14. It is very difficult to teach someone with no body fat to swim because they just keep sinking. My daughter has baffled many swim teachers. I’m not kidding.
15. Their skinny-arm hugs are the best, and they fit in your lap just right for a very long time.
So, if you have a baby or toddler on the small side, just know that at some point the annoying comments will die off. They will grow, and as they get older, people seem to care a lot less about how much they weigh or what growth percentile they fall in. You will start to stress less about every calorie that goes into their bodies and just worry that they don’t eat anything green ever.
I’m also pretty sure they’ll figure out how to swim — but I’m still waiting on that one.

It’s normal for parents to worry about the growth and development of their baby in the womb, particularly if the baby has been measured and is estimated to be 'small'. But does size really matter? Here’s what you need to know if you have been told your baby is, or is likely to be, smaller than average (less than 2.5kg at birth).
The most common reason why a baby is smaller than average — weighing less than 2.5kg at birth — is prematurity (being born before 37 weeks’ gestation). The earlier the baby is born, the smaller they are likely to be.
This is because the baby will have had less time in the womb to grow. A baby gains much of its weight in the last weeks of the pregnancy.
Some babies don’t gain much weight in the womb because of other risk factors. Having one or more of these risk factors does not mean you will have a baby with low birth weight, but may be at higher risk of having a baby with low birth weight. Risk factors include:
Sometimes a baby is born weighing less than 2.5kg simply because the parents are small themselves or have a certain ethnic background. For example, babies born to Indigenous mothers in Australia are twice as likely to have low birth weight than those born to non-Indigenous mothers.
During routine antenatal check-ups , your doctor or midwife may estimate the growth and size of your baby by measuring the fundal height. That is the measurement from your pubic bone to the top of your uterus.
An ultrasound can also give health professionals an idea of how big your baby is likely to be — but it's not very accurate.
There's no way of accurately measuring your baby's weight until after they are born.
A baby's weight is always monitored closely after they are born to make sure they are healthy and growing properly. But their weight isn’t the only thing that’s important. How well they are feeding and the number of wet nappies and poos they produce can indicate whether or not your baby is doing well.
Small and large babies can both be born via normal, vaginal delivery , but you and the baby will probably need some extra care both during labour and after the birth. So it’s best to give birth where you can access specialist medical services. Talk to your doctor or midwife about the best place for you to give birth.
If your baby weighs less than 2.5kg at birth, their head may appear to be a lot bigger than the rest of their body. They may look thin with little body fat.
Babies of low birth weight may need to be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or special care nursery (SCN) . Some of the challenges sometimes faced by small babies include:
These are all more likely to occur in premature babies.
If there are no other complications, low birth weight babies usually 'catch up' in their physical growth. In later life, however, people who were born smaller than average are more likely to develop diabetes , obesity , heart problems and high blood pressure .
Often there’s nothing you can do to prevent a baby being born small — or large. But looking after yourself during pregnancy is important for all women. You should consider:
Always talk to your doctor, obstetrician or midwife first if you have any concerns about your pregnancy, your own health, or the health of your baby.
You can also can call Pregnancy, Birth and Baby on 1800 882 436 to speak to a maternal child health nurse.
Babies are considered of low birth weight if they weigh less than 2500 g at birth. Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of disabilities.
Everyone knows that when you're pregnant, you're eating for two. Less obvious, however, is knowing the particular foods pregnant women shouldn't eat in order to avoid infectious, food-borne diseases, as these can cause miscarriage, low birth weight or a higher risk of Mum getting sick.
