Preemies
New to the group - 34 week preemie
Hi everyone! My third child was born prematurely at 34 weeks gestation. Grayson weighed 4 lbs. 14 oz at birth and only had to stay in the NICU for five days 
. No respiratory problems. Anyway, he is 10 weeks old now (4 weeks adjusted) and doing wonderfully. I'm interested in learning what an average weight for a preemie at two months is. At nine weeks he weighed 10 lbs. 1 oz. and his doctor was thrilled! He was in the 10th percentile for weight and 25th for height. I've heard it's a good thing that he is even on the charts at this point. Would like to hear your stories and experiences

My son was born at 34w 5d and at 2 months, he was 9lbs 15oz, 20.5" (the length might be wrong, he measured the same at 1 and 2 months, so one measurement was off). He did not have to stay in NICU at all (we were incredibly lucky).
ETA: He was 6lbs 1oz and 18 3/4" at birth.
