? about doubling and tripling Weight

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I am assuming that this all depends on your LO's birth weight, however from what I have read, most sources suggest that LO should double their birth weight by 6 months and triple by a year.

DD was 5-8 at birth and is exactly 10 now, so 1lb away from doubling at 2 months. She is not chunky at all but if she has almost doubled her weight by 2 months, is she gaining too much too fast??

How much did your LOs weigh at birth and how has their weight gain been so far?

    Makaia was 8lb 10 oz at birth

    1 Mo 10 lb 14oz

    2 Mo (has her apt on the 27th) I would estimate shes about 12 pounds now

    She is pretty long and grew about 2 and a quarter inches in her first month..

    I think that is just a guideline to show what your baby should at least be at, anything below might show a problem.

    DS3 has already doubled his birth weight.  He was 4lbs 10oz @ birth and is now 9lbs 4 oz.

    and triple by a year hahah DS2 had grown 10X his birth weight by a year!  He was 3lbs 15oz.  At 2.5 yo he is 47 lbs!

    DD was 8lbs 2oz and 19.5 inches. At 1 month appointment she was 10lbs 12 oz. At today's appointment 1 week before her 2 month check up she is 12lbs 2 oz & 23 1/4 she's at 90th percentile on both weight and height.

    DD was born at 8 lbs 8 oz, and JUST doubled her birthweight at 10 months old, when she weight 17 lbs 1 oz. She is 17 lbs 15 oz at a year, so she is no where near tripling.

    HOWEVER, I have type 1 diabetes so she was larger to begin with than she would have been if I was not diabetic.

    Same thing here, DS weighed 6lbs 9oz at birth and at 2 month appt was 13lbs 4 oz so he doubled it by 2 months.  A week and a half later he is at 14 pounds.  He also is 24 inches long which is 4 inches since birth. He went from 20th percentile for both at birth to the 80th now. I EBF too, MD just says I make cream not milk! He has gained at this rate since birth and no one seems too worried about it.
