33 weekers: weight gain?

For those of you who had 33 weekers, can you give me a short summary of how they grew in regards to height and weight each month for the first 6 months actual?  I'm starting to worry that Ava isn't gaining enough.

TIA!

Re: 33 weekers: weight gain?

  • 9 Months: 18 lbs. 12 oz. Six Months: 15lbs. 10oz. Four Months: 12lbs. 2oz. Three Months: 9lbs. 7oz. Two Months: 7lbs. 8oz. One Month: 5 lbs. 4 oz. Birth Weight: 2lbs. 15 oz.

    We think she is around 21.5 pounds now at one year. Her one year pedi apt isn't until next week.

    We didn't keep track of her height.

    Katie: 1/16/08 2lbs. 15oz.
    Abby & Emily: 12/31/10 6lbs. 2oz. & 5lbs. 7oz.
  • Should I be worried?  Ava is just around 8 lbs at 3 1/2 months.  My pedi never seemed concerned but I just feel that her weight gaining process is going so slow.

    If your pedi hasn't expressed any concern over her weight gain I'd try not too worry too much about it (although I know it's hard not to).

  • I know exactly how you feel about worrying about weight gain. I am obsessed with my ds weight gain. I exclusively breastfeed and my doc told me that formula fed babies gain weight quicker. If your pedi doesn't worry i would think everything is fine but I know that is easier said then done because my pedi is happy and I am still a worrier :)

    Birth 4lbs 2oz

    1month 5lbs 2oz

    last weight check was 6lbs 1oz

    He will be 2 months next week.

  • I am only about 4 weeks ahead of you hope this helps

    Birth 3lbs 11oz 17in

    1 month 5 lbs 8 oz 18 3/4 in

    2 months 8lbs 5 oz 21 in

    3 months 10 lbs 1oz 23 in

    4 months 11lbs 9 oz 24 in

    he has really slowed down in gaining weight in the last week he only gained 3 oz. We have a scale @ home so we are always weighing him

  • Month 7: 19 lbs 10 ounces
    Month 6: 18 lbs 5 ounces, 26 inches
    Month 5: 17 lbs 6 ounces
    Month 4: 15 lbs 8 ounces, 24.50 in.
    Month 3: 13 lbs 6 ounces
    Month 2: 10 lbs 7 ounces, 21.50 in.
    Month 1: 7 lbs 0 ounces, 21.25 in.
    At Birth: 4 lbs 6 ounces, 18.5 in.
  • I don't have all the stats with me but Marino has consistently gained about 1/2 a pound a week. He weighed 3lb, 2oz at birth and at 6 months he weighed 15 lbs, 2 oz.

    He's a 32 weeker, but close enough, right?
