Underweight
Hi,
My 4.5 month old daughter was born 2.9 kgs. So far she has only reached 5.9 kgs. She is in 19 percentile. She doesn't like drinking milk. She is super active and happy baby. She started rolling over in 2.5 months, creeping in 4.5 months and she sits with support. She is achieving all her milestones before time but doesn't enjoy milk.
I am really worried about her weight. I am planning to start her solids when she turns 5 months. Is it ok to start solids then?
Is her weight normal? Shall I see her doctor for help?
Regards

Glad to hear her development is on the quick range of achievements.
It would help to have more details about how she is fed, exclusively breast fed or mixed feeding or just bottle fed.
She is making steady progress having almost doubled birth weight.
Monitor and see how she progresses, do not look at weight in isolation, look at length and head circumference to know if she is proportionate. If worried, to alley anxiety see your friendly paediatrician too.
