We took DD in for her 4 month well check and shots last Friday. She weighed in at 14.12 and measured 25.25 inches and the nurse freaked. Said she's HUGE. 90th percentile for height and 80th for weight.
She seems average compared to other babies she's been around but it makes me curious.
She was 6.12 and 19.5 inches when she was born so I'm glad I'm providing enough for her but I really didn't think she was such a GIANT!
Re: How big is your baby?!
she was 8lbs 9oz at birth
I am EBF, I think I might have some extra strength breastmilk haha.
LOL And I thought my milk was crazy strong, that's some serious growth!
Lol! This was my exact thought! DD went to the pedi on Monday and she was 17 lbs 10 oz and 27 inches long! She will be 5 months on Sunday. I constantly get people thinking she is 6 - 7 months old.
I have a little guy.... 12.6lbs (4th percentile), I think he was 24.75 inches (32nd percentile), and his head was 42.5cm (76th percentile). But he is increasing in all percentiles, so that's good. Was 6lbs at birth, dropped to 5lbs 5oz and had trouble gaining at first.
fwiw, my sisters was 16lbs 4oz at 4 months, her older son was over 18 at 4 months, she makes round babies.
DS won't have his 4 month appt. until July 8th (which is really like 4.5 months), but at his 2 month he was 26.5 inches and weighed 15.2 lbs. I estimated he is about 28 inches and at least 18 lbs. He is a big guy! Doesn't look like a little 4 month old!
my DD is almost exactly the same -- 14.14 for weight (they said it was 65% for weight, interesting haha) and 25.5" and 88%.
ETA: She was 8.6 and 21" at birth.

At birth he was 8lbs 5oz and 21" long.
At his 4 mo appt (3weeks ago) he was 17lbs and 26" long.
He's definitely grown since then. I also EBF him- powerful stuff right there. Lol. People are always commenting on "how big he is!!!" :-)
We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
Your nurse is a spaz. Jussaying...
14.4lbs 24.25 inches.
Apparently her length growth is pretty slow but she's a little chunk and right on target.
I just took him, but now I don't remember! I know the weight was close to 17 lbs. Both weight and height fell in the 85-90% range. My DS1 has stayed in the 15% range his entire life, so we are shocked!
It depends if they're using the WHO growth chart (for BF babies) or the CDC chart (for formula fed babies).
We went for our 5mth check today and our little miss is now 16lbs 12oz and 25 inches.
I EBF so am I'm super happpy with her progress as she was delivered 2 weeks early at 5lbs 12oz , 18 inches.
At 4 months my DS -who was delivered on his due date at 8lbs 7oz, 19.6 inches- was packing 19.6lbs and 26 inches! Now that's a big boy!!
My DD was 6 weeks premature....4lb1 oz and 17.5 inches at birth and at 4 mths (really 18 weeks old) she was 9 lb 14 oz and 22.5 inches
.
Today is our 4 month birthday, and she weighs 13 lbs 9 oz.
She was 6 lbs 7 oz at birth.
