weight questions

Today at the pedi we saw a different doctor and he made a comment about DS weight. This got me thinking and of course stressing. DS lost 7 oz since his last appt 3 weeks ago (he had been throwing up all morning though). He was weighed in his clothes (onsie) and a dry disposible diaper. How much difference do you think his clothes and diaper made? Do breastfed babies slow down in growth? I thought I read that they slow down after 6 months. I'm trying to figure out how much he has gained since his 6 month appointment. He was 17.4 at 6 months (naked) and 18.2 today (with clothes). He is a week past turning 9 months. He nurses like crazy and is finally liking solids. Very very active little boy. Sorry this all ran together... Stupid phone.

    My LOs were both breastfed but grew like weeds! I'm not sure if it's genes because DH is 6'4''. We never had issues with weight gain, however my kids stretched a lot and probably didn't gain weight all around had they been shorter. KWIM? What percentile is he in for height? Is it within reason, and has it been a consistent growth between 6 mo and today? He may have just grown tall but didn't gain a bunch of weight (stretched!) HTH! and don't worry! He's a healthy boy who's getting the best he can get from mom! I wouldn't be too concerned. Maybe call your original pedi and see if they are concerned?

    Both my children also grew like weeds. If he is that active though, then yes, his weight will slow down dramatically. My ds2 at 9 months, was 23 lbs and at 1 year he was 23.3 lbs. Around 9 months is when he started going, going, going, like a mad man. I say as long as your pedi is not concerned, then I'm sure his weight is fine.
