How much does your lo w/reflux weigh?

Agallo3 · February 2014

My lo is 5 months old weighs 13lbs drinks 7 oz of similac sensitive every 3 hours. His length is 27 inch, was born weighing 8lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long. His reflux started at 3 weeks old but he stopped spitting up at 2 months which is why I thought he would weigh more than that. How old is your lo with reflux and how much does he/she weigh?

Weights will be all over the place but LO is ~13lbs/24" give or take (I'm estimating since he hasn't been to the pedi in a month) at 3 mos. He's still spitting up quite a bit, though.

You might just have a small kiddo - as long as he's following his curve and gaining appropriately, it's all good.

My twins are 5 months. They were born at 35 wks, DS was 5lbs,10oz and DD was 5lbs,8oz. They both have reflux. DS now weighs 15lbs,15oz and DD is 14lbs,1oz. They are both around 22 inches long I believe. They eat 6oz every 4 hours. It took DD a while to catch up on weight, and they are still only in the 50th percentile. The ped. told me as long as they keep following their curve, they are fine.

5 months, 16 lbs. He gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks after starting zantac just after his 4 month appt. I know they say it's not supposed to reduce spit up but for out little guy it did - tremendously. Craziness! I swear he gets chunkier every day now. He's about 2/3 BF and 1/3 FF, eats 4 oz every 2 hours and STTN.

DD is 6 months old and was 15lbs. 3 oz. at her sick visit right before she turned 6 months. She has had reflux from day 1 and still continues to spit up a TON!

My refluxy one is no longer refluxy, but never had probs gaining weight. He's a preemie and continues to be a peanut - he's prob 15lbs at 7mo actual / 5.5mo adjusted. He's over a pound heavier than his twin brother.

DS was 14lbs, 14oz and 25.5 inches at his 4 month apt a week and a half ago. I'm guessing he's at least 15.5lbs by now. We just started zantac for his reflux (2mls 2xs/day). He seems to be spiting up less now but still a significant amount when he does. He takes 6-7oz of formula every 3 hours.
