How much does your baby weigh now?

TiffanyTheMom · March 2011

I feel a little paranoid about her weight, not that she's obese or anything.

She's 7wks old now and 13 1/2 lbs. She was only 6lbs10oz when she was born. Is this too much weight gain? I mean, she's almost into size 2 diapers. (We do cloths during the day and disposies at night and when we go places, but are having to use up the 1's we have during the day now to get our money's worth out of the disposies.) Has anyone else's baby gained like this too, because if this ir normal I'll feel loads better. She's breastfed and fed breast milk out of a bottle, so she's not chunking up due to formula.

Her 2 mo appt is next Fri so I'll bring it up then.

i wish i KNEW how much DS weighs!! his last dr appt was when he was 2 weeks old and he was 7 lbs 6 oz - birth weight was 7 lbs 2 oz. he doesnt go back to the dr until he is 2 months old to get his first set of shots. everybody keeps asking me how much he weighs..my response 'well 3 weeks ago he was 7 6. he doesnt go back till next month so i have no clue!!' its kind of annoying.

At DS's 1 month visit, he was 9 lbs 1 oz. At 2 months, he was 12 lbs 5 oz. He was 7 lbs 8 oz at birth but dropped down to 6 lbs 5 oz before he started gaining.

At our 2 month appointment on Tuesday, Liam weighed 10lbs 11oz. He was 7lbs 10oz when he was born. But the doctor said that his current weight puts him in the 25th percentile. So slightly below average.

I wouldn't worry about how much she is gaining. I think its a good thing that she's gaining period.

We estimate DS's weight at home. I weigh myself alone and then again while holding DS, and do some simple math.

DD is 7 weeks and weighs 10 lbs. She was 6 lbs 6 oz at birth. She is EBF and I am very happy with her weight gain. I agree with pps... weight gain is a good thing!

I routinely put DD weight into this growth chart. It gives you their percentiles

Jenniferk08 · March 2011

not sure of Mj's weight now but he was 6lbs 8 oz at birth and 8lbs 15oz at his 1month check up. he's on BM since i'm ep-ing. if your ped is not worried about the weight gain then I wouldn't be either.

momranda · March 2011

Jude was 6lbs 7oz at birth, 6lbs 5 oz at his one week visit, at 2 weeks he was 7lbs 12oz and is now 10lbs even at 8 weeks. I sort of feel like he should be a lot bigger by now.

erin_857 · March 2011

My 7 week DS is 13 lbs even. He was 7lbs 13 ozs at birth and is BF too. He's been gaining more than a pound a week for the past couple weeks. Our home health nurse is just thrilled with his weight gain so I'm not concerned. I wouldn't worry about it, we just have healthy babies with healthy appetites!

Xander had his two month check up yesterday and he was 9lbs 6oz and 21 inches long. He was 5 weeks early though so when I brought him home, he was only 5lbs 6oz. He gained 1.25lbs in just about 3 weeks. Our ped was happy with that.

Holy crap, that growth chart said Adena's in the 98th percentile! I feel like crying now. I thought she was so petite and she's a monster truck!!

Weigh yourself then weigh yourself holding your son

At 1 month 7lb 12oz, birth weight was 6lb 2oz, 6days old he was 5lb 9oz. We go next wed for 2 month checkup. I can tell he is growing fast by his clothes and diapers, but I haven't put him on the scale at home recently.

psychgalbride · March 2011

I guess I have the peanut of the group. She is just now 9lbs at 2 months old. She was 5 lbs 11oz at birth and went down to 4lbs 13 oz before we left the hospital. I had to switch to FF since I simply could not produce enough BM (PCOS).

liladelphia215 · March 2011

According to my scale around 10lbs 9oz. She was born at 8lbs 3oz, but left the hospital at 7lbs 4oz

As of Monday he was 7 11. He was born at 7 and dropped down to 6 4. I'm bf-ing him and he gets bottles at night to help him gain weight. I'm paranoid about his weight gain because of all of our dificulties early on.

JenLuvsRichard · March 2011

My baby was 8lbs4oz at birth and now weighs 11lbs8oz at almost 7 weeks old.

dee1369 · March 2011

DD was born at 6 lb 1 oz.

She dropped to 5 lb 2 oz before she started gaining again.

Back up to 6 lb 8 oz at 1.5 weeks.

At 1 month she was 8 lb.

At 5.5 weeks she was up to 10 lb Indifferent

She'll likely have doubled her weight by 2 months.

laurapalmer · March 2011

7lb 6oz at birth, back to birth weigh by 2 weeks. Now 12lb 10oz at 2 months.

JessiRaye · March 2011

I think her weight gain is great! My LO was 8 lbs 9 oz at birth and lost down to 7 lbs 12 oz. At one month he was 10 lbs 14.5 ounces. A week later he was a little over 11 lbs. I bet he's pushing 14 now! We find out on Wednesday at his 2 month. My breastfed babies always gain quickly! I'm thrilled:)

Check her height/length too. It's that's high too I wouldn't be too worried. that just mean is proportionately a big (long ) baby.

London is 2 months today! He was 20" & 6lbs 5oz when he came home from the hospital, 6lbs 14oz at 1 week checkup and now at 8 weeks he is about 10.5 pounds and 22.5". But we will get the exact amount at his 2 month check up tomorrow.
