Wondering how everyone's LO's are doing in terms of the height and weight percentile on which they were born and the percentile they are now. Are they staying on the curve or going up or down? Share that information here!
1) What was your LO's length, weight and percentile for each at birth?
2) What is your LO's length, weight and percentile for each at your most recent measurement?
3) Are you b/f or f/f?
Me: 38; DH: 41
DS: Born 5-17-16
Re: Staying on the curve?
She is now 11lbs at 12 weeks old. I'm not sure exactly how that goes in terms of percentile but the doctor was pleased with her weight gain. She is breast fed.
1) What was your LO's length, weight and percentile for each at birth?
8lbs 4oz 20in - I can't remember, but I feel like it was around the 60th percentile? Maybe higher for height?
2) What is your LO's length, weight and percentile for each at your most recent measurement?
13lb 9oz 22 1/2in (I'm pretty sure this height is wrong. We measured at home and think he's 24in) and gaining, I'm sure. That was almost 3 weeks ago. He was 90th in weight and head circumference.
3) Are you b/f or f/f? BF. I find it rather amazing that he can be this big just on my milk. He has a healthy appetite, that's for sure. Little chunk.
2) LO grew two inches and is still (!) in the 75th percentile in height, but he gained a ton and was in the 90th percentile for weight at 13lbs, 9oz.
Oddly enough, LO is not a chubby baby. I keep waiting for his rolls to come in, but he just keeps getting longer. So it makes no sense to me that he's only in the 75th percentile of height but in the 90th in weight. There must be a lot of super long, super skinny babies out there
3) mostly formula!
At 10 weeks he is now 14lb 8oz and 25" - still tall but now at 85% for weight.
