Weight/Growth

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Based on our home scales my DS (7 weeks old) is approximately 11 pounds already.  He was born at 6 lbs 3 oz. on April 9th.

He's only getting BM.  Is this rate of growth normal?  It just seems like he is growing so much faster than my DD did.

    Seems normal to me. My LO weighed 8 lbs 4 oz at birth and at his 8 week appt. was 12 lbs 9 ounces. The doctor was pleased. He was in the 75th percentile for height and weight.

    Sounds good. DD2 gained 3lbs in 4w, and I have no idea how much by now. She is EBF'd as well.

    Seems fine to me. My LO was born at 7 lbs 12 oz. At a few days shy of 6 weeks he was 10 lbs 8 oz.
