    Don't start semi solids before 6 months completion. Ur dd weight is fine. Don't be bothered by what people say. And plz feed her only on ur milk till she completes 6 months. This is what my paediatrician told me. By this u will give her life long immunity from many diseases.

    Your ped will tell you if she is underweight or in range but smaller size. My baby is not EBF and was not weighed at 5 months, but at 6, so can not tell.

    There is this baby's weight chart you can look online. It tells your normal weight range.
    If your baby is healthy, normal do not worry about thin stature. Moreover, sometimes it changes over time.

    Hi unicorn,

    My dd was born on 28 Aug. Her birth weight was 2.67 kg. Now she weighs 7 kg.

    She tries to roll, but is not able to do it completely. No crawling as of now. She is a very light sleeper. I really have difficulty putting her to sleep. During night its really very tough to make her sleep. She never sleeps before 12.30 in d night. She will get up 2-3 times for feeding. Dhe also gets up if her sleep gets disturbed, which happens often.

    I hardly have a good night sleep. She keeps me waking after every 2 hours or so. During day she takes short naps. She is a very high maintenance baby. I have always have to be on her side, otherwise she starts crying inconsolably.

    same here dear she gets up every 1 1/2 to 2 hours, n very difficult to put her to sleep have to keep rocking her, its been long time since i had a good sleep. My daughters weight gain was good in frist three months she doubled her birth weight, but from 4th month her weight gain slowed down thats y i was worried.
    Other wise she is very active n healthy.
    Do you read books to ur dd?
