She's officially too small. Her weight/height combined is 5th percentile, and her weight is under 5th percentile. Her doctor wants her to gain a bit of weight because if she were to get sick, she'd have no reserves. Alyvia hates jarred foods, so the doc gave us a list of ways to increase her calorie intake with table foods. I'm also going to switch her to oatmeal and hope that some of it will stick to her bones.

The doc did say she's 100% healthy, though. She's super active, hitting all of her developmental milestones, etc. She didn't see any problems other than her being tiny. She said it's fine for her to be tiny and that we can't expect her to gain a lot of weight since she has our genes, but she would like to see her put on a bit more weight.

When we took her to the doctor last week she was 15 pounds 2 ounces. Today the scale (different scale) said she was 14 pounds 8 ounces. I asked the nurse about it and she said different scales will give different amounts. But over half a pound difference? That doesn't sound remotely right to me.

So that's it. I'm on a mission to plump my baby up. Wish us luck, please. And any recommendations for baby-friendly high calorie meals are more than welcome!
