Weight gain :(

Should I worry? We were gone almost the whole month of dec and didn't have a scale with us. Cooper will b 4 months old on the 5th of jan. and the month of dec he ha only gained about 1 pound. on dec 5th he was 10lbs 1oz we weighed he yesterday and he is only 10lbs 14 oz. he was only 3lbs 11oz @ birth so we have come a ong way. Should io call the doc? we have an appt next week?.

  • Our weight gain goal is an ounce/day.. so that would be concerning to me. But Robbie was 1lb 7oz and has had many, many weight gain issues. You might just call the doc and see what they say.

  • My DS's name is Cooper too! I think you're the first mom I've seen with the same DS name.

    I would just wait until the pedi appointment next weeek, as long as he isn't loosing weight.
