Hi,

Wondering if anyone else has a similar story? I have a 9 month old son who is very tall and very lean. He's on the 50th percentile for all other measurements, however, his weight is on the 10th percentile. My GP has expressed concern over this but I'm not entirely sure what to do. He's breastfed and since he was 5 months old has had solids and he's currently on three meals a day and 4-6 breastfeeds. I can't possibly shovel any more food into him. My side of the family are tall and skinny and I'm thinking he might just be like us, but should I be concerned? Anyone else have a similar issue? He currently has a nasty cold and isn't eating today which concerns me now as I'm worried if he's already skinny and gets ill that he'll deteriorate.

Any advice or similar stories would be appreciated :-)
