Weight gain?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Hey guys,

 

At what point do I worry about my baby gaining or not gaining weight? He's just getting longer and longer...but he's all stick legs and arms. Is that weird? He's 7 weeks old now...when does the pudge fill in?

    I can't speak for my own yet, but my friend's oldest was all legs the entire first year. She wasn't unhealthy, just skinny. Even now, at 8, she is skinny. Call your pediatrician if you are truly worried, but as long as they are eating, it should be fine!

    Some kids are just long and lean...makes it tricky to find clothes, but that is not the end of the world.  I wouldn't worry if he is thriving otherwise.

    My daughter is long - she was 90th percentile at 1 month for height. She has a few little rolls on her thighs but thats it. She's gaining weight great, though

    My LO is 2 and a half month and in the 95 percentile for weight. But she is also 23 inches long. You can see a difference since she was born ( 5lbs 10oz) but she doesnt look chubby either really. Long and lean like PP said. I am build like that too though so maybe she just has mommas genes.
