Lo will be 2 months on Sunday and I dont think she is gaining enough weight. At her 1 month c/u she was 8.7lbs and today I got on the scale with her and it only said she weighs 9lbs. I am worried. She was 6.4lbs when she left the hospital btw.
i did the scale thing and it was off so i wouldn't trust it completely. LO was 7.2 when he was born, and at his 2month which was actually a week early he was 10.8. My pedi said don't look at the numbers so much as long as he is following the curve on the chart she isn't worried and said i shouldn't either...but i do since i EBF i never know if he gets enough.

We went in for shots when lo was 2months and 4days, he weighed 12.2! Not sure if he is alittle big for his age but he weighed the same as your LO when we came home the hospital....We had a weight problem in the beg bc with breastfeeding he wasnt getting enough so when we switched to formula he starting putting on pounds like crazy!
DD weighed 6 lb. 15 oz. when she was born and at her two month chech up she weighed 10 lb. 14 oz. Are you BFing of FFing? I have read that most weight gain charts are based on FF babies and BF babies usually weigh less, but I'm sure your pedi will let you know if LO is not gaining enough weight.
I am BFing currently, but have been giving her 1-2 bottles of formula a day for the past week to get her used to it when I go back to work. Just seems that in this month, she is isnt gaining much, but I guess I can be sure at her check up next Thursday.
DD weighed 7.4lbs at birth and was 10.9lbs at her 2 month check up. I wouldn't worry. She sounds right on track to me since she was 1lb less than my DD at birth.
Babies gain weight differently. As long as she is following the same curve, it is fine. DD weighed 6lbs 6oz at birth. She weighed about 9lbs at 2 months and 10lbs at 3 months. DS on the other hand weighed 8lbs 14oz at birth and is already 10.5lbs at 3 weeks. . . (DD was born preemie, which is why she weighed so much less, but both are exclusively breastfed).
after reading your responses i realized even more that my ds likes to eat!! at birth he weighed 8lbs, 13 oz. and at his 2 month appt. he weighed 14lbs, 4 oz. he's my linebacker!! he's FF.
Re: How much does your 2 month old weigh?
My LO will be 2 months on Thursday and I think she weighs around 9.5lbs. She was 5.13 when she left the hospital.
LO was 7.2 when he was born, and at his 2month which was actually a week early he was 10.8. My pedi said don't look at the numbers so much as long as he is following the curve on the chart she isn't worried and said i shouldn't either...but i do since i EBF i never know if he gets enough.

She goes in tomorrow for her 2-month appointment, so maybe she'll weigh 13 or so?
