My son was at the 2nd to 3rd percentile for almost a year - that is really really close to unhealthy underweight. I'm glad he gained more.

See my eldest daughter was always down at the bottom like that. When she was born she was just a few ounces away from being classified as low birth weight. It was so stressful!
