Re: failure to thrive?
I was thinking about you the other day when a friend mentioned that her little one was labeled failure to thrive just because of the growth curve....all of her milestones were met on time or early, she nursed frequently and had the normal amount of wet/dirty diapers....she just barely gained.....and even at 4 she is still small, but totally normal in every other way. This mom was a LLL leader and had experience nursing other children before too, so she didn't stress too much about the label and she didn't add formula or anything else since her daughter's development other than size was spot on. Glad to hear she gained!
