My son is so little

[Liberty005]

I dont know what to do about my baby. He is tiny. Is is somewhat normal?

His weight and height is below the 3rd percentile for his age which is below normal, however, does your family have very small stature? If genetically your family has very small stature (males below or near 5 ft) then he may not be below normal. If that is not the case, then he needs to check by a MD. As a guideline for a 14-24 month old child should eat the following: Dairy 4 feedings a day –Milk or breast milk (4oz), cheese (½ oz), yogurt (½ cup), or cottage cheese (¼ cup). Starch 4 feedings a day – Cereal (¼ cup), pasta (¼ cup), rice (¼ cup), bread (½ slice), or crackers (2). Fruits & Vegetables 4 feedings a day – Fruits (including 100% juice limited to only 4-6ozs) & Vegetables (¼ cup). Protein source 2 feedings a day – Meat or fish (1oz), egg (1), or beans (¼ cup). He should eat 3 meals and have snacks between meals using the foods above to be spread out throughout the day.
