A member asked:

Nursing my 5 mon old and very underweight she is never fussy and seems satisfied sleeps all night and laughs/smiles what is possibly wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What is wrong: Sounds like a wonderful child and there may not be any issues. FYI, my younger daughter gave birth to non-identical baby girls some 8 weeks early and a combine weight barely making it to four pounds. The twins are now age 7 and doing wonderfully. That said, to hopefully ease your mind please contact your obstetrician.
