My mother's doctor told her to wean me when I was nine months because I wasn't gaining weight the way the chart said I should. He thought I would eat more solids if I didn't get breastmilk.

I continued to eat little and stayed in the lower-end flat parts of the weight-and-height bell curves for my entire childhood.

I am still not tall, but I am 5'2" and weigh 115 pounds--well within anybody's definition of normal. I have never suffered an illness that required hospitalization. I turned out fine.

There's every probability that your baby will too. Good luck!
