4 months - how much do your kids weigh?

ShilpaShilpa
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

We just had our 4 month check up (it was actually at 4mo1week though).  I have twins and my daughter weighed a pretty normal 13lb 2oz.  But my son weighed in at 15lbs,11oz!  I am just wondering if I am feeding him too much.  My pedi said that it was the 50th percentile (what he was at last weigh in) and I shouldn't be too concerned, but when I got home and checked the CDC growth charts, he's closer to the 75th percentile.  He gets about 30oz per day by the way. 

 Just wondering what your kids weighed and if it was anywhere close to my son's weight, whether your docs said anything about it.  Thanks!

    DS weighed 16lbs 7oz at his 4 month appointment.  And I know I am not feeding him too much.  If anything I am afraid I am feeding him too little because he will only take 6 oz at a time and he only has 5 bottles a day.

    My son was 14.8 at his 2 month appt., so I am guessing by his 4 month appt. (still a month away!) he will weigh more than your son. My son's in the 95th percentile, and the pedi doesn't seem concerned at all. He eats a ton every day (he is FF). If your pedi is fine with it, then I wouldn't worry.

    Henry was 15.5 at 4 months. Our dr said 50th % too... I am not too worried. They are healthy!

    15 lbs 8 ounces, and he started out at 4 lbs 6 ounces!!  My doc is thrilled.

    Your son sounds great!

    At 4 months, my DS was 16 pounds

    for my DD she was 14 pounds, 8 ounces.

    I wouldn't worry a bit.

    DS was 12 lbs 11 ounces at his four month appointment.  We just went this morning for his 5 month checkup/shots and he's 13 lbs 8 ounces.

    He was 15 lbs. 4 oz., just above 50th percentile. Just had him to the doctor on Thursday (just 4 weeks later) because we thought he had an ear infection (but thankfully, no, just teething) - he was 16 lbs. 11 oz.! I thought he was supposed to be slowing down around now.

    At 4.5 months DD was 15lbs, 5oz. Don't worry, the weight gain will start to slow down soon. At her 6 month check up I expected DD to be well over 17lbs, but she was only 16lbs 11oz. and that's after getting more calories by starting solids.
