At birth LO was 21" but at 3 days the ped's office measured 19", then 20 1/8" at 1 month. I doubt he shrunk so he was obviously measured wrong as he was squirming around right after birth.
WOW. Bailey grew 2 inches in 2 months and I thought that was a lot. As for the measuring wrong. In the hospital she measured 20.5 and at the doctors 5 days later she was 20 3/4. I know it's not a big difference but it still makes you wonder. My pedi. usually enlists me to help hold her while they mark the top of her head and bottom of her feet on the paper.
Re: 3 inches in a month and a half!
Haven't had my one month checkup yet, but I agree that the way they measure leaves tons of room for error.
