My little one is 10 months and also petite weighing 16lb 6oz she eats three meals a day and drinks three 6oz bottles, my hv recommended she has around 20oz per day of milk but she said this can also be got from yoghurts and other foods like this, does your little one like yoghurts?

My 4 and a half month old was 17 lbs when he was weighed at 4 months. So all babies differ and don't think that because the neighbours baby drinks 6 bottles a day and weighs more that there is anything wrong with your daughter. Your daughter is due to start on cows milk soon and will probably drink less again. If as long as she is still growing and healthy don't be put out by how much she drinks

you didn't say what she eats each day besides milk? my baby is 12 months next week and she weighs 10.8 kg. she has always been at the top end of the scale, but the last few months, her weight has stayed the same, she has gotten a bit longer though. the clinic nurse told me it is often the case when they are moving around more. she loves her food and has three meals a day, plus one or two snacks, and three breastfeeds a day. once they are 12 months, they start getting most of their nutrients etc from food rather than milk/formula. maybe you need to try cutting down on her formula and offering her more food. difficult to say though, you really need to check it out with your doctor. good luck, and remember all babies are different so don't get too worried if your baby is not doing what others are doing. that has been my biggest lesson as a mother, and has helped me relax a lot more. as long as they are healthy then that's all you need to worry about :)

As a toddler my son barely ate anything, until he was about 3 he would maybe have 2 spoons of yoghurt and half a slice of toast in any day, a few sips of milk and nothing else.
I went to the docs lots of times, I took him to Mac Donalds etc, bought children's recipe books, but he just would not eat, he was very skinny.
The doc checked him and said he was ok, although how I do not know, and now he is 8 and a half and the tallest boy in his class and is still a picky eater but he eats ok now.
I cannot understand why he would not eat, there was nothing I could do, but I don't think any child would voluntarily starve themselves.
My second son loved his food and I never had problems with him, he is much chunkier than his brother but not as tall for his age.
I suppose we just have to allow the child to be the guide on what they need to eat, but make sure that healthy food is available should they want it.

each child is different...but really your child needs to be eating the baby cereal and other foods at this age....you might need to cut back on the bottle and try to get her to eat other things...or take the bottle away until after she eats something else...than give her the bottle....you probably should check with a doctor and see what they have to say...if she was eating other things I wouldn't be to concerned..but since she is only taking the bottle ...I would be a little worried......
when I started kindergarten..I weighed 22 pounds...and I was a healthy child......just small......
It has been so long since my kids was this age..I don't remember what their weight was at this age..but they were always on the small size..my oldest is a very tall lean teen ...my other son is the same except a little shorter....they eats like a pig and continuously..but don't gain much in weight... just in height...their waist has been the same size for several years now....and they have regular check ups and there is nothing wrong with them....

i don't know pounds but my son weighed 9 kg at 12 months and eat 5 times a day,but does not drink milk.
once i stopped breastfeeding at 11 months he didn't want normal milk.
my nephew at 12 months weighed 12 kg.
i wouldn't be too worried, take him to a nurse if you are concerned about her diet.
