Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Newborn Weight Gain

Hi ladies!  I was just curious how fast your babies are/are not gaining weight.  If a few of you don't mind, would you reply with your baby's birth weight and then the next weights you have recorded for them.  I know it's different for every baby, and that most lose weight initially.  Thanks!

  • Thanks so much ladies!  We're deciding on whether or not to cloth diaper, and I'm trying to figure out the size diapers I should buy....thinking I might just use 'sposies to start until baby is big enough to fit in the cloth dipes I buy. 

    Oh and by the way.....are your kids CUTE!  I love the pics!  Man, I can't wait to be a mom!

    FWIW, since I know I have a bigger kid..we cloth diaper and we were still able to use a lot of the popular diapers recommended. We use the KLOs (Kissaluvs, size 0) at the beginning as well as some prefolds. Since she is a little bigger we were able to get into the BumGenius diapers a little sooner and she wears the 3.0s with both inserts for nights now and the AIOs (all in ones) during the day. Again, if it helps, even with a bigger kid all the stuff that was recommended worked just fine for us. Good luck!
