awww she will get there, don't worry- it is so great that you are breastfeeding I'm sure that will help- I am not sure how eating lots of fatty foods will help her gain more, as the "hind" milk has fat in it no matter what...but I am no doctor :) Good Luck!! hoping she will have that first big growth spurt soon!!
Sometimes it just takes a bit for them to get on a good feeding schedule then before you know it they start packing it on like crazy! Jasmine was never even on the chart till over 6 months old and then she started to pack on weight and within a month she was at the 3rd percentile and within 2 months was at the 10th percentile! Don't give up, before you know it she'll be up there!
THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS LADIES.......THANKS JOLENE! I KNOW U WENT THROUGH ALOT WITH JASMINE AND ITS NICE TO HEAR SOMEONE HAS BEEN THROUGH IT..........THE DOCTORS MAKE IT SOUND WORSE THAN IT HAS TO BE.............MAYBE SHE IS JUST SMALL............JAMES WAS A HUGE BABY NOW I HAVE MY PETITE LITTLE GIRL
