A member asked:
My daughter was born 6.7 pounds. now she's 8 weeks and 3 days and weights 10 pounds. is she behind?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Both those weights fall in the 10th-25th percentiles for her. The important thing is to follow how she is doing over time, which your doctor will do at her checkups. It would be concerning if she continued to "drop percentiles" as she grows.
