What the? Only 12lbs?

I guess our precise method of weighing her (DH get on scale alone, DH get on scale with Jo) has been a little inaccurate.

I have a shrimpy baby.

our girls are about the same age...i have a "shrimp" baby also

I'd say she's pretty average... and I'll bet that when you go for her 4 month checkup that she's probably somewhere around 50th percentile for her weight.

My 3 month old only weighs 13 lbs - and I feel like she's huge! (but that's probably because my oldest was a preemie and so super tiny that normal size babies seem giant to me)

My little man only weighs 12.3 and he was such a hoss at his 2 week check up! Our pedi was expecting him to be close to 13 pounds 2 months...not sure what went wrong.

That's not too bad, Kate will be 6 months next week and only weighs 13 lbs.

my guy was just over 12lbs at his 2m shots, so not much different

hes over 19lbs now

Mine only weighs about 13lbs now... as long as they are proportional and growing it is all good, no requirement to be at the top of the range...

My 4 month old just hit 12lbs.

I think it is fairly average. ?We went to the pedi yesterday and LO weighed 11.bs.11oz. and she had moved up to the 30th percentile. ?

Guess she isn't that shrimpy after all!

My baby was 11lb 6oz at her 3-month appointment. She's dainty.

Don't sweat it...there's a range for a reason.

Mine weighed 13 1/2 lbs at 4 months, 10th%.

The real measure is: is he satisfied after meals, does he have at least 5 wet diapers a day, and normal poops. Is he drinking close to 24oz or more per day (or nursing at least 5-6 times)?
