At his 1 year checkup a week ago my DS had actually lost a few ounces since nine months and was only 18lbs 12oz. And he's not got hardly any baby fat, he looks so scrawny! My MIL keeps telling me (every time we see her) that my DH was 30 lbs when he was 5 and looked like he was 2. So I'm thinking DS might stay small. I know babies don't gain as much weight the second year so I'm thinking weight wise we'll be rearfacing forever. Height I don't know, he's 29" now but still in 6-9 month clothes (and man is it hard to find pants that won't fall down off his skinny little waist and to get the diaper to fit good!).
So I was wondering how long people with little peanuts rearfaced? Did you go till you had to turn or have people turned their kids at like 2 or 3 because they wanted to?
I really want to rearface as long as we can and I don't get any flak from anyone so far. I just explained why it was safer and so far everyone is supportive. I'm just curious what others have done.
