The doctor said my kid was skinny: Advice?

Hi moms quick question has the doctor ever told you your child was too skinny ?? I feel like my daughter is under weight as much as I feed her she says she gets full so fast not eating a lot

Get another doctor! He should have the answers for you! I’m sure she is fine. But I would definitely look into another dr.

Our pediatrician has made comments about my daughter (she is a fabulous doctor) however my daughter has hypotonia (low muscle mass) and is extremely petite. Going to be 9 weighs 43lbs :rofl::woman_facepalming: The doctor could have been potentially worried about their diet or milestones in regards to weight/height etc., Bump up their calories a bit. Without more information or the context it was used in- hard to give advice

yes my dr put my son on an appetite stimulant

I have a petite 7yo! He’s only about 46 lbs 46 inches! And he’s always been tiny but mighty.

My son and daughter are skinny, but the doctor isn’t worried about it to much as long as they are growing in height. Weight or height growth shows they are getting their nutritional needs. I’ve been trying to get my daughter to gain but she grows height wise not pounds :confused:
