How much did L/O weigh at birth vs now?

HollyBabyNumber2 · July 2012

My little piggy weighed a tiny 6lbs 7oz at birth (born at 37 weeks) and now she is 4 weeks old and weighs 10 lbs. She is EBF... She seems like she's gaining weight super quickly compared to DD1 (formula fed) so I just wanted to see at what rate your LO's are gaining.

My DS was 8lbs 4oz at birth. (39 weeks) at his 6 week dr appt he was 12 lbs. He is a little chunk!

My LO weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces at birth. We took her to the pedi at 11 months and she was 20 pounds 8 ounces.

7lbs 5oz at birth, 8lbs 14oz @ 2 weeks, 10lbs 5oz at 1 month.

I have a slow gainer. She was 7 lb 11 oz at birth and 13 lb 2.3 oz at her 6 month check up.

DD#2 was 6.14 at birth and was 10.5 lbs at 2 months. Once she reached that point - her gaining has leveled out and has been at the same rate as DD#1 - who was FF. In fact, they weighed the exact same at their 4 month appointments, and is on track to do so at 6 months.

DS gained a pound a week the first month and then a pound every two weeks the next month. He was 8lbs 6oz at birth and weighed 17lbs at 4 months. He slowed down a lot after that and at 2 years was 28 lbs.

DD was 9lbs 3oz at birth and at 11 days she was 9lbs 11oz. She had gained so well the pedi told us we could skip the one month appointment and just schedule the 2 month one.

DD was 6lbs 4oz at birth. At her one month check up she weighed 8lbs 5oz. We go in for her 2 month on Tuesday, but I'm guessing she's up another 2 pounds.

He was 9 lbs at birth and at his 6 month checkup Friday he was 17 lbs 1 oz.

rinny25 · July 2012

9lb, 3oz at birth, 14lb 7oz @ 2mo check up. We don't go back until late aug for 4mo check up but I'm guessing she will be close to 16/17lbs by then. She's a little piglet :-p

DD was 7lbs, 9 oz at birth and was 11 lbs, 4 oz at her 2 month check up last Tuesday.

She is exclusively fed breastmilk via bottle (save for 10 days in the first 2 weeks when we supplemented with formula until I was producing enough).

DD did the same thing, she weighed 6lbs 14oz at birth and rapidly gained weight up until she was 5 months, then she settled into a slump (14.9 at 5ms 14.11 at 6ms) But it must have just been a blip because she went from 14.11 less then 4 weeks ago and she's now 16.4!

jamdv3 · July 2012

My DD was also 3 weeks early, and was skin and bones, weighing in at 5 lbs 6 oz. By 2 months of age being EBF'd, she was in the 95% for weight. . . and 25% for height. She stayed that way until she was 1 year of age. My little butterball. . .

He was 10 lbs 5 oz at his one month, and 13 lbs 3 oz at his two month appt.

DS weighed 8lbs 5oz at birth, and 15lbs even at 3mos. Curious to see what he weighs in at for his 4mos. check-up in a few weeks.

frugalwife · July 2012

Birth- 7lb 6.6oz

2.5 weeks- 8lb 9.6oz

2 months- 12lb 6.4oz

4 months- 14lb 9.6oz

6 months- 16lb 9.6oz

9 months- 18 lb

12 months - we go today, but I'm guessing ~20lb

LO went from 68% at 2 months to 10% at 9 months. So he definitely started out chunky and then slimmed down later on. I think that's a common trend with BF babies.

Wow it's great to see how different everyone's LO's are growing. Thanks so much for all the replies, it helps knowing my baby isn't abnormal and that she will probably taper off with the weight gain
