A forum is the last place to discuss your baba's eatting habits. I did that and got *reemed a new problem*!!!!

My baby was tiny ay birth, but caught up *quickly*!!! She, at 6 1/2 months, is 20lbs.

At 2 months, she was, geezus, I don't remember. But she was big!!! I mean everyone thought she was going to be obese, even her doctor. But he(her dr) realized that she will continue to gain 2lbs a month. Perioddd!

Textbook, babies should *only* gain 9oz per month. Buuuut, not all b abies are textbook!!

Don't worry about it girl!!! She's healthy and beautiful!!! Who cares how much she weighs.

Nana is now 20lbs and 28in long....Waaay big for a 6 1/2 month old. But she carries the weight well!!

Alyvia was only 9.2 at her 2 month check-up. But her daddy and I are both small, and the doc said she takes after us. She's petite.

She's at least 10 pounds now, but probably more. She's getting some chub on her legs!

I think if there was a reason for concern, your pediatrician would let you know

At 8 weeks william was 11.14lbs and when he was 10 weeks he was 12.9lbs and that is on the average line according to the health visitor but every baby is different in length and in weight so there shouldnt be anything to worry about unless your doctor says anything

My baby is large for her age. She always has been. In her doctors eyes as well as others.

It doesn't concern you that your baby is gaining so much weight?

How many times a day are you feeding her, if you don't mind me askin?

I know every baby is different. And I know that .Teegan will be of average weight when she starts growing in length!

I'm not tryin to start drama, really I swear. I just remembered how scared I was because .Oni was gaining too much weight!

My son is 6 months and is about 15 pounds. He was born at 7 lbs 2 oz.


I look at it this way, if you are only formula feeding, then let her weigh whatever she wants.... Its not like you are going to let her starve. Let her eat as much formula as she wants. Theres nothing wrong with that!

If you were stuffing her with solids and she was overweight that would be different.

At 10 weeks my son was 11 lbs.
At 5 months, 15lb 11oz
at 9 months 21lbs.

He's taller than average too though so has always been a little heavier than average. He's a sturdy little boy but not at all fat, thankfully.

Are you serious?

So it's ok to stuff a bottle in a baby's mouth everytime she cries? I mean you can never feed them too much formula right?? Lmao

reguardless of what you're feedin them, if it's too much it's too much.

If you were directing that comment towards me, her doctor is completely happy with her weight/height ratio. She is completely mentally/physically perfect.

Well, my son had his 6 month appointment today. He turned 6 months 3 days ago, but he weighs 20 lbs 9 oz. He's a chunk. He is 27 3/4 inches though. He doesn't look fat though. I can't remember how much he weighed at 10 weeks, but I think it was 12 lbs or more.. If anyone has anything negative to say about your child just tell them to shut the hell up!

.Melia's doctor said that she shouldn't have doubled her weight until she is 6 months old but she is 4 months old and a little over 12 lbs....But he wasn't concerned. Just said to hold off on the solids. I have given her some rice cereal at night on those nights that she isn't wanting to go to bed. But it's not every night.....So whatever.

I agree with .Rose.Jackson, as long as the dr says she is okay and that she is healthy, I would not worry about it. My .Son weighed 10lbs 2ozs at birth and got heavier after birth of course his .Dad's family is big and so was mine, once they start moving around more and walking it starts coming off. If you are concerned your dr can run some tests but don't let what others say bother you, and I know that it is easier said than done, I remember that .Sarah, it pissed me off because I know it was hurting you. Natzcee, we are here for you and we are not here to judge you or your baby I think your baby is cute! Even my .Daughter was8lbs and 8ozs at birth, I don't remember their weight at 9 weeks, that was a long time ago for me.

My baby was 9lbs 2oz at birth.
Not sure how much at 9 weeks, but 15lbs. 8oz and 25 in. At 4 months,
and 18lbs 5oz and 26in. At 6 mos, and now she just turned 8 months on .Monday and is 21lbs 4oz.
No 2 babies will ever be alike, so try not to compare your baby to others to find the 'normal' weight or anything. Adriana grew a lot in her first 6 months, and now she's slowed down quite a bit. Others grow slow at first and pick up later. So just keep up with what you are doing and let nature take it's course, everything will be fine.

I feed .Teegan every 4 hours sometimes a little bit sooner if shes realy upset and hungry, .Teegan goes to bed at half 10 at night and gets up at 9 in the morning shes a realy good sleeper, so the way I look at it shes asleep for 11 hours if she wants fed every 2 hours thats fine but I try hold off longer, me midwife told me when she was 5 weeks and 6 days she was 10.3 slightly over weight, now at 9 weeks she was 12.2 thats over half a pound a week, ive never had a baby so I duno if im maybe feeding her too much or what Sad thats all im concerned about Sad

I'm not trying to be harsh about her baba's weight, because mine ain't the skinniest!!

We allll have little chunk monsters!!!! All of our baba's are healthy reguardless of their weight(which in a year will allll be a blurrrrrr)!!!!!

Everyone is correct, if her dr isn't concerned, you shouldn't be either!!
