Mine is 19lbs. She was a preemie and has been exceeding her growth curve though. So long as the gain is consistent, then they are all good!

I hear you love. I'm the same 13 months and 20 lbs not a preemie. I question if I'm doing something wrong. But she eats little no matter what I offer and she used to drink less milk but she's active and energetic. I don't know what else to do. All I know is that she's healthy and happy. That's what keeps me content. Also my mom tells me I was the same... So there is that.

My daughter was 16lbs at her 14mth check up, she's 15 months now and is probably a couple pounds more. She was born small at 5lbs 1oz but she has been going up in weight at each appointment. I was worried at first but she is a power house! She's strong, smart, active, and very out going. We just have small babies, keep doing good mom, you got this!

thank you guys!🙏💕 this helps so much!

My daughter is 30 inches tall and 20 pounds. Her pediatrician says she is petite, but her weight is good for her height. She actually lost a few oz between her 12 and 15-month checkup, but she is more active now.

My daughter is on the same growth pattern as well she’s 15months 16 tomorrow and every couple of checkups she always only gain about 1-2pounds

I honestly hate when people/doctors comment that my babies are small. I heard it ALL through both pregnancies. Neither are preemie. My 16m/o finally hit 23 lbs. She's just super active and mobile so I'm sure she's burning it all off as she is a bottomless pit
