At the risk of sounding like a paranoid mother, is it just me or is this kid reaaaally skinny? I know all three of my girls are on the lean side, but when I was getting the gremlins in the bath tonight I realised how much scrawnier Mercedes is than Sienna, she almost looks emaciated. So go on, tell me I'm just being paranoid, but do you honestly think this kid is scrawny? She was on the 75th for height and 25th for weight, and the dietician is back next week, but they've had a tummy bug this week and I'm sure it's knocked them back a bit.

She has the starving African baby potbelly that Maya had at her age, and no butt and saggy baggy elephant skin round her thighs like Maya had too

i have a skinny minny just like that, with little birds arms and legs - she looks odd when nudie.

i can tell when my girls have been sick as they lose a little bit of covering and their bony bits show more - xanthes back is gross with its knobbly bits, and jordis has a skinny no bum.

looking at mercedes with that perpective, i can see she is a little skinny, but with the explanation of a tummy bug that is fully understandable. also may be worth measuring her height, as she might have had a growth spurt, which normally means they get skinny.

of course if you are worried though, see the dietician.

I think it's probably alright considering she's just had a tummy bug. She doesn't look unhealthily skinny but boy does she look skinny next to my proportionate ones!!

I can see that she's a bit on the scrawny side but as everyone else has said, that could be due to tummy bug and growth spurt.

I mean, what can ya do if she is skinny? She's already on formula right? So nothing really... she definitely doesn't look lethargic and floppy... she looks cheeky and lively!

Thanks for the reassurance I guess after having Maya the supereater that never grew and all her feeding issues, then having the gremlins who packed it on and were huge to start with I thought I would end up worrying about them being too BIG not too skinny! And you're right Nikki, there is nothing I CAN do, I can't make them eat more/take more formula, maybe they are just destined to be skinny. Which given the fact that neither Willie nor I are in any way small is a blessing really!
It was just that I never really noticed how skinny she was till I saw her standing there today. And she is still on the tightest Fuzzi snaps the same as she has been since she was 8 weeks old. Altho I do think she has shot up, she seems heaps taller than Sienna, Sienna seems shorter and stockier.

She looks fine to me and as the others have said the tummy bug would have knocked her back a bit but she definitely doesn't look like she's starving.

She looks the same as my youngest DS... I wouldnt worry. DS has slimmed down in his legs alot and still is on the same setting on his FB's as well! They are at the age where their legs get a bit skinny.


I think so anyway!

Aww she's gorgeous! She looks slim but then you've seen my big bubba and he's all I can compare her too! Maybe try not to compare her to Sienna as they aren't the same person?

She looks fine to me, reminds me of Erin a little - very slim. E is also still on the tightest snaps of some of her nappies too, although just starting to move out a little on others. The most important thing, is that she is happy, healthy and still keeping her mummy on her toes You are doing a great job!

Well she isnt the chubalub she used to be but she isnt what i would call terribly thin either. Alyssa's height and weight is like that as well. I think they do a massive growth spurt and really thin down then fatten up a little bit then grow again.

Also with having their tummy bug, like you said that cant of helped in the weight department.

Try not to worry too much.
