Weight Gain in the First Month

My LO was 9lbs 1oz at birth. Today at his 1 month appointment, he weighed 9lbs 5oz. (He's not quite 1 month yet. He's 24 days old) I guess I was expecting him to weigh more.
The NP said his gain was fine so I know I shouldn't worry, but it just seemed a little low to me. He's eating fine & has plenty of wet/dirty diapers, but I just thought he'd have gained more than that.
How much did your LO gain in the first month?

Re: Weight Gain in the First Month
Ds was 7 lbs 11 1/2 oz at birth, now he's 8 lbs 12 oz. 11 of the oz he's gained have been within the last week.
If your pedi isn't concerned, he's probably fine.
DS was 6lbs 15oz at birth. He lost 5 oz in the hospital. At his 2 week appointment he was 8lbs. The other day (at 3 weeks) we weighed him on our scale and he was over 9lbs 8oz.
DD#1 is 3! And LO#2 is on his/her way! Due Feb 26th, 2014.
BFP#1: EDD 5/7/2010 born on 5/20/2010. A little girl named Emily.
BFP#2: m/c 10/29/2012 EDD was 6/21/2012 Baby Hope was 6 weeks 3 days.
BFP#3: Twin B stopped growing at 8 weeks and 5 days. Found on 8/10/2014. EDD was 2/26/2014. Twin A is still doing great and due date is 2/26/14.
At birth: 9lbs2ozs,
Left hospital at 2days old: 8lbs8ozs,
Two wk apt (really, 11 days old): 9lbs4ozs, and
One month apt (today): 12lbs4ozs!!
He gained freakin' almost 4lbs in a month! He's also grown 2 full inches and is now at 24inches.
DS was 8lbs 4oz at birth and 9obs 14oz today (18 days old). We were all shocked, he's also grown .75" already. The pedi was really shocked since he's ebf.
DD didn't hit 10lbs until at least 2m, every child grows at his/her own rate.
almost 3 pounds
she is ebf
