Well, as most of you know ethan was 8 lbs
6 oz when he was born, and at his wic
appointment on friday he weighed 15 lbs 10
oz. I am worried that he weighs to much.
What do you guys think?

I wouldnt worry sam, cam weighs 20lbs
something at 5 months, some kids gain
weight very rapidly but it balances out
and when they start to move(crawling,
walking etc) they loose the weight or keep
themselves toned.
I would only be worried if he was so big
he wasnt moving because of his weight
elisa was 28 lbs by 12 months so I wouldnt
worry too much..Btw elisa has been at 32
lbs since about 14 mths the only thing I
noticed is if she gets sick shes loose a
pound or two but gain back in no time

Yeah--diamond said it all..Jace was also
around 20 lbs at five months..Which he was
8lbs and 3 oz when he was born so he has
always been bigger for his age..But now he
is starting to grow into his fat because
he is exercising more ...While he walks
and crawls everywhere...I dont think your
baby is over weight at all...All babies
are different ..--i mean if he starts not
being able to breathe easily or something
then that would be time to worry..But I
think he's going to be alright...Plus if
he was over weight they would be sure to
let you know at the doctor...

Kayoni is 3 months and weight 14lbs. Her
doctor isn't concerned anymore about her
weight like he was in the beginning. He's
realized that babies just grow. Now she
was only 6.8 at birth, so she's big now
compared.
As long as your baby moves around and is
not constricted by the weight, yall are
totally fine!! Babies are known to be
chubby!! It's their trademark, chubby
babies are adorable!!! My angel has
cheecks and rolls for days!!
Don't sweat it, enjoy your little
peetot!!!

I am not really sure I believe that he is
15 lbs 10 oz, because his last Dr.
Appointment was only 17 days ago and he
weighed 14 lbs 7 oz. Do you really think
it is possible for him to gain a pound and
three ounces is 17 days?? Maybe i'm just
paranoid.

Yea girl. My angel had gained 3 lbs in 3
weeks and that was when the Dr. Had a
hissy fit. Now she averages about 2lbs a
month.
But babies go through growth spurts like
you wouldn't believe!!
Being a "nervous nancy" is totally
normal.
I've heard that when you become a mommy
for the 2nd, or 3rd time, you're waaaay
more relaxed than the 1st.
I surprised myself with how calm I am
about .Kayoni!!! I was sooooo paranoid
during my pregnancy, I could've sworn I
was gonna be the same way when she was
born. But her daddy does all the worring
for us both!! He's such a mother hen!!
Anyways, i'm sure your angel is fine!! If
it really concerns you, call the
pediatrician just to make sure. But i'm
almost positive it's gonna be nothing to
worry about!!

Sam cam gained a pound in a week so its
very possible, have you thought that maybe
hes going through a growth spurt???
Dont worry like I said some babies gain
quicker than slow down other are slow in
the begininng then gain after or some
babies are just normal..
