both my kids have always been on the slim side...even though my eldest ate(eats) like a hungry hippo! i feel for them cos i used to be the same till i hit puberty (then piled on the weight) though my youngest is very much like his dad in his eating habits, so may stay slim.

hatty doesn't look small to me, she doesn't look any smaller than most babies i've seen that age considering the problems she had with feeding i heard about i think that's pretty good

 Thanks Hoobs, and everyone else who's reassured me on the weight issue. I'm not in the least bit worried about her weight now, she's a really healthy size and is feeding fine. Don't know exactly why but it seems I can't produce enough milk for her myself, so I'm now expressing every few hours and saving enough each time to give her two full bottle feeds and then she has formula for the rest of her feeds. She's thriving on that. I was a very small child, (4lb 5oz at birth and two weeks overdue!) so she's already doing better than I did and I turned out ok(ish).
