Hey just passin by and thought I would read the journal... we are in RAOK together too... so anyways.. I just want to let you know that my daughter is EBF and is only in the 5th percentile for her weight and 7 or so for length.  Oh, and she is 5 mo old... Some babies are just meant to be small... Don't stress to much over it unless there has been something found to be wrong with her.  I wish you the best of luck with your little one!
