Weight question

leasaj

My LO has only gains 1.5 lbs in 1.5 months. It is a struggle to get her to eat (nurse or bottle). She doesn't eat nearly as much as recommended but has at least 6 wet diapers a day. I don't go back to pedi until her 4 month appt. Should I be worried about her weight gain? She is 15 weeks and 12.4 lbs.

My LO is staying consistently 10th percentile for weight. At 3 months, she was 11 lbs, and at 4 months she is 12 lbs 4oz. She nurses every 2 hours during the day. I swear it seems like she's eating all the time. We go through about 10 diapers/day. She grew almost an inch in the last month; she's about 90-95th percentile for length. She's alert and happy, babbles to us, reaches for toys, etc. I wouldn't worry based on weight alone. You have to look at the big picture.
