I would like to support Andee's comments concerning her petite girls.
My daughter Elizabeth, born 32 weeks at 3 lbs 3 oz. was also a slow grower,
described as fail to thrive.
We spent alot of time, frustration, anguish over her inexplicable slow
growth. Finally at about 3 yrs the ped. asked us about the heights of
grandmas. They are both 5 foot nothing. Well, he then decided she was just
going to be a small girl.
I do think that this is easier to cope with for a girl, as being petite is
no real social problem for girls. Good luck with your boy.
