Hi mamas!
I might be overthinking things a bit...but I'm a tad worried my DD isn't gaining as much weight and growing as she should be. She was born at 28 weeks at 2lbs 11oz and was 15.2inches long. She will be 8months old on the 9th (5 corrected) and weighs about 15 1/2 lbs now. She is super healthy otherwise and has recently started eating puree's this past weekend!
How much weight did your little ones gain, and how quickly? I'm a FTM so most of what I learn is from trial and error and google... which I try to stay away from! lol.
TIA!
Re: Good weight gain??
You can input your daughter's information here and it will plot it on a growth chart. There is also the option for preemies.

My daughter is not on the growth charts (less than 3 percentile) if it's not adjusted for her prematurity. When it is adjusted, she falls around the 25th percentile.
Sorry I can't make it clicky.

My DD was also 2 lbs 11oz at birth and at her one year check up she was 16 lbs and 27 inches. The doctor wasn't concerned- just said she is small. She has had reflux issues in the past, so weight gain has always been slow because feeding has been challenging. I think your LO sounds like a good size but only your pedi can let you know if their weight gain is on track and they are following their own curve appropriately. It sounds like your LO is doing just fine

Yes, this. My boys were also 28 weekers, 2lbs and 2lbs 7oz at birth and were just 12 and 13 lbs at 8 months old. We've had some issues with slow growth but they are getting back on track and following their own curve now. They are still less than 10th percentile for adjusted age, but gaining well.
