Percentile

My baby had her 1 year doctor's appointment and her pediatrician says she's small and she needs to eat more (she's in the 13th percentile) but my baby eats a lot she's been ebf and still drinks breast milk but eat more solids than anything.... maybe she will be a lean/slim tall baby what's wrong with that??

One measurement on its own doesn't give a full picture. Is the 13th percentile just her weight? What percentile is her height? What percentile was she in each at her 9 month check up? 6 month check up?

@Samantha 55th percentile for height... 9 month check up she was in the 13th percentile for weight same for 6 month check up... she's gaining about a pound each check up but is getting taller, so I think her height affects her weight, and she will just be tall and slim 🤷🏾‍♀️

If she had been in the 50th percentile, then 30th, then 13th, that's more concerning. But since she's remained in the same percentile for weight, then yes, it sounds like she just has a slimmer build!
