How much has LO grown?

ktr722 · August 2013

Hi everyone! DD had her 4 month check up today. She now weighs 14 lbs. 12 oz. and is 25.5 inches long. She was 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 19.5 inches at birth. How much has your LO grown?

I'm asking bc my brother and SIL have me a little paranoid. They keep saying how big she is. They had 3 very tiny babies, and she bf where I am not. The doctor doesn't seem concerned, and I have a happy, healthy baby.

My LO had his 4 month appt yesterday. He was 15 lbs and 25 1/4 in long. He's in the 70th percentile for both and the dr was happy with his progress. I don't think that's big at all for your LO! Especially being formula fed. I am nursing btw.

He was 6 lbs 15 oz and 19.5 in long when he was born on April 24th.

Clara was 8lbs, 15 oz, 20" at birth, and was 16 lbs and 25.5" at her 4 month appt. She's in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th for length. She is ebf. Op, your LO sounds like a good size!

My son was 7lbs 1oz and 20 inches at birth. He now is over 18lbs and 27 1/2 inches. He jumped from 5% weight to 23% to now 85%. His height was around 65% for 2 months then 75% to now 95%... He has always had "he is big/small" comments from everyone. The pedi isn't worried about his massive percentile jump because it was both weight and weight... not one or the other. During the stay in the pedi's office a lady with a 7 month old thought he was older.. cause he was a bit taller than the 7 month old when they were both standing up cooing at each other.

7.2 lbs, 20 inches at birth, 16.6, 25 inches at 4 month checkup today. Only 50% for his age even tho i think he has been growing astronomically!

DS was 6lbs 13oz and 19 1/2" long at birth. At his 4 month check up/shots on 8/5/13, he weighed in at 13lbs 14.5oz and 24 1/2". Sometimes people tell me he's so big and sometimes they say he is small.

My baby brother just turned 1 in July (crazy I know!), but he had an appointment the same day as DS and he weighed 19 1/2lbs and came in at 29 1/2" tall. My LO is almost as big as him

Your baby is not too big! My LO who is bf is 17 lbs 4 oz and 26.5 in. He was 7 lbs 7oz at birth and 21 in.

chellebell82 · August 2013

8 lbs 1 oz and 21.8 in at birth. He is now 13 lbs 4.5 oz and 24.3 in. I also have been told by a few people that he is so big, but then when I see what other people are saying about how long their babies are I know it's not completely true.

I dont think your baby is too Big at all. She is just right

Rylee was 14lbs 7 ounces at her 4 month check up and 24 Inches long. She was born on April 12th weight in at 7 lbs 6 ounces.

My baby is apparently a giant! He had his 4 month appointment yesterday. He is 18lbs and 27 in long! He was 7 lbs, 3 oz at birth. He is in the 92nd percentile for weight and 97th percentile for height. He is breast fed. We will supplement with formula, but it is usually once or twice a week 2-4 oz in addition to his BM. His pediatrician even reccomended that we give him stage 1 baby foods at 5 months since he is such a BIG BOY!

B was 8lbs 7oz & 21.5" when she was born on April 12th - at her 4 month check up (on Aug. 9), she was 14lbs. 8oz & 25 1/4". I EP & we do a mixture of BM & F.

DS was born 5 wks premature on April 8 - 5lb 8oz and 19.5in. He is now 4.5 mos and weighs 14lb 4oz and is 24in. I can't believe he's almost tripled his birth weight!

At DD 4 month check up today she weight in at 17lb and 6.5 oz and measured 27 in! Big difference from 7 lb at birth and measuring 20 in...they grow so fast.

Your brother and SIL are crazy. Will was born 9lbs 3oz 22" long. He is now just under 16lbs and just under 26". I thought he was big too, but according to national averages he is in the 50-60th percentiles for weight and height. He Had breast milk until 0 weeks and is now on formula. Don't let them worry you.
