How much did your LO gain by 6 wks old?

DD weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. when she was born. At her 2 week appointment her weight was almost back to birth weight, like 7 lbs. 8 oz. Well, she's six weeks old now and she weighed 11 lbs at the doctor today! Her doctor kept saying what a "big, healthy girl" I have and said she must really enjoy her food. LOL!

ETA: She is EBF

    My LO was 5 11 at birth... went down to 5 5 and at her 6 week weigh in she was at 9 5!  That's 4 lbs in 6 weeks!! She LOVES her food (I BF by the way) and I couldn't be happier!!  Good for your LO!!!

    I'm not sure exactly.  DS was 9 lbs 1 oz at birth, 11 lbs 1 oz at 4 weeks and yesterday I weighed him (and did some math) and he was about 13 lbs.  I'm curious what he will weigh at his 2 month check up.

    DS was 9lbs exactly and 56.5in at birth. On Monday he was up to 12.9 and 58.5. He's a big boy!! But that's where he takes after his Dad, who is 6'10!! In the length he's in the 90th percentile, but weight, the 75th. Also exclusively BF! Good to see our LO's are so healthy :o)

    I am so jealous, LO weighed 8lbs 2oz when she was born and went down to 7lb 3 oz in the first week now at 7 weeks she is only 8lbs 5oz.  I tried supplementing with formula and that didn't help, I was refered to a pediatrician who wants me to try EBF and cutting out dairy.  We also took her for an ultra sound today.. she is growing in length and eats lots... i am really hoping that the dairy makes the difference.

     How long was your LO?!??  Did you mean 26.5 in?  I mean that is really long too....just checking to make sure I am reading right.

    I am jealous. DS is two weeks old today and still not back to his birth weight. We've been working on this.
