Baby weight gain

AmyO.AmyO.
in May 2011 Moms

Our little guy is a good eater.  And man, he really seems to be growing fast!!  He has gained 4lbs already and is 6 weeks old.  How much weight has your baby gained and how old are they?

ETA:  He was 6lbs 8oz at birth and is now 10.6lbs at 6 weeks old.

    DD will be 5 weeks old on monday and she is finally past her birth weight, so she weighs whopping 7 lbs 10 oz and is only 19 1/2 in long. She's tiny still but at least she finally fits in her newborn clothes! :)

    My DD is just over 10lbs. at just over 7 weeks. She was 6lbs.3oz. at birth. I can't believe how fast she has grown! Also, I can't believe that some women give birth vaginally to 10lb. babies. Ouch!

    I think the exact same thing when I look at my little guy now!  He is HUGE compared to when he was born.

    D was born at 9lbs 2oz and at 4 weeks weighs 12lbs. We go to the doctor on Wednesday so I am interested to see a more official number.

    DD has gained about 2 1/2 lbs so far. She was 9lbs 7 oz at birth and is a little over 12 now.

    I think they are supposed to gain about a half a pound a week.

    Amelia was born at 7 lb 6 oz.  This Wednesday at 5 weeks she was 10 lb 6 oz.  I could not believe she gained 3 lbs in 5 weeks.  It just goes so darn fast!

    My baby was 7 lbs 9 ozs at birth and 10 lbs at his one month check up. I'll have to weigh him to see how much he's gained since then.

    DD was 5lb 11oz at birth and when we went for her weight check at 1month she was 6lb 14 oz. I am excited for her to get out of the premie clothes and into the cute stuff.

    Our LO was 8lbs 2oz at birth and weighed in at 7lbs 12oz at her 1 week appointment. She was spitting up a LOT, so the doctor had us come in at 2 weeks to get weighed and she was 8lbs 10oz, so she gained almost a whole pound this week! 

    The pedi said they are happy if babies gain a pound per month.

    Our DD was 7lb 14oz at birth, went down to 7lbs 3oz, and is now up to 8lbs 6oz. Dr says she's a slower grower, but that she's not concerned since she's eating every two hours.

    That now has me concerned that maybe I'm some how not producing enough, so I'm going to up my pump.

    My overly happy baby girl!

    Annabelle is a peanut. She weighed 6lbs, 8oz at birth and went down to 5lbs, 10oz in the first week. At 5 weeks she was 7.5 pounds. I'm curious to see how much she'll weigh at her 2 month appt! My pedi said that as long as they're staying along a similar growth curve as they grow, it's all good.

    Amalia was 7 lbs 4 oz at birth, then lost some weight of course and was up to 8 lbs 10 oz at her 1 month check up. At 6 weeks she must be over 9 lbs because she's out of her newborn clothes and wearing her 0-3s now.

    No idea! I need to weigh her now that you mention it.

    A couple of weeks ago we saw the pedi (2 weeks ago, maybe) and she was 8#5oz.  She was 6#15 at birth.  I'm guessing she's pushing 10 lbs at this point.  Hard to believe! They grow so fast!
