Hello all,
My daughter is 17 weeks old today. She was born at 34 weeks and as of last week she weighed 11 lbs. Does anyone mind sharing their LO's weight so I can gauge the difference between my preemie girl and her full term counterparts?
Thanks in advance!
Re: How much does your LO weigh?
Tatum turned 4 months last week. I think she's something like 18 weeks now? She was born a week late, and she currently weighs 12 lbs 6 oz. (as of last Friday)
I should add that her growth chart was slightly leveling off, and the pedi was not happy with her gain since her 2 month appointment (she weighed 11 lbs 3 oz in November, so she only gained about a pound in a month). The doctor had hoped to see her at just over 13 pounds last week.
At her 4 month appt (18 weeks), DD was 14 lbs. She was born 4 days shy of her due date.
LO turned 4 mths today, Yeah! We weighed her Friday night. 13lbs 8 oz.
She is my little chip monk cheeks. She was born 9/23 7 days after her due date.

We have her 4 month well-baby appt on Wednesday so I'll have an official weight then... but she's either close to 12lbs or over 12lbs I believe.
eta: born 5 days afterEDD
Thanks everyone! I'm glad to see that although she is small she is not THAT far behind some of your babies. I can't help but worry, ya know?
Thank again
Baby girl was 14 lbs at her check up a week and a half ago. She's a preemie, too, but right on track with her adjusted age.

Sean was born 9/10/11, at 41 weeks; weighed 6lb. 14oz.
18 weeks later, he weighs a smudge over 16lb.
Jacob was born at 36 weeks and at his 4 month appt he weighed 11 lb. 11 oz.
It's reassuring to see other little peanuts out there!!
Carter is also 17 pounds, but he was born the day before his due date. Love those big babies!

Thanks for all of your responses! I took my LO for a weight check today and the doc says she looks great, which is obviously a relief. She only gained 4 oz in the past week but we'll be back next week for her 4 month check up so we'll see what happens.
