For those of you keeping track or have your own baby scales how much weight is your LO gaining on average each week? If you don't want to do the math, if you put the last 2 weights and the dates, I will do it! Smiley face.

I'm not sure about every week. But in between the last few appts (between 4-6 months, and between 6-9 months) , Austin has gained on average 1 pound per month.

It was 4 lbs between 3 and 6 months. Between 6 and 9 months Alexander gained 2 lbs. Now that he is active chances are it will slow down a little.

Nolan had a lot of trouble with weight gain secondary to severe reflux.  Pedi GI specialist said 1-2 lbs per month for the first year then 1/2-1 lb per month for the second.  Nolan never really did that, but the doctor was happy if he stayed on the growth curve.  In the beginning he was below 5th percentile, but once we got him on meds he jumped to between 10-25.  Still smal, but he has stayed consistent.

They each gained about 1.5 pounds between 9.5 months and 12 months. On a weekly basis that seems so little that measuring right before they poop would skew the weigh in.

We don't have a scale at home, but he weighed the same at his 9 month appointment as he did at his 6 month- however, he also had the stomach flu for a week before we went in and diarrhea. When we went in two weeks later, he had only gained 1oz.

Ava has only gained at most 1 pound between her 9 month appointment and now at 11.5 months.
