My SWCAH 7 month old son is doing great...but
Apr. 14th, 2006   8:32pm

he’s underweight.  I know that’s not the norm.  Anyone else have this same situation?  (He was 8lbs, 1oz at birth and he hasn’t even doubled his birth weight.)  All his tests come back great and he has a fantastic endo at John’s Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.  I’m constantly concerned about his weight though.  The doctor says they’re going to keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t "fall off the chart" but I feel he’s on his way.  He’s only in the 3-5 percentile.  I’m just curious to see if anyone else has a baby that is actually on the thin side as opposed to being overweight?  And can this have anything to do with his condition...or maybe just genetics.  I’m probably considered borderline underweight myself...5’6" and 118 pounds. 

Thanks,

Susan
