A member asked:
If my baby is small and not growing much at 15 weeks is that a bad sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be: Failure to grow/thrive is more worrisome than just having a small baby. Some babies are born small especially if the mom is small. What is more important is that the baby is growing, so if the growth seems stalled, your pediatrician needs to find out why.
