Weight gain

My little girl was 7 pound and 11 ounces at birth. She ended up having her check up a little later at 8 weeks and now she’s weighing 11 pound something however she didn’t lose any weight when she was born. Did your doctor seemed concerned? I think as long as they’re gaining weight regardless of the amount it should be ok x

As long as they’re in their percentile and the HV/GP is happy then that’s what matters. My baby girl was 8lbs at birth and at her 6 week check up weighed 11lbs 2oz and had gone just over her percentile which the GP said was fine x

My baby was 7lbs at birth and 10lbs 8oz at her 6 week check up x

My girl was 7lb 8oz when born and was 10lb 9oz yesterday at her 6 week check which was between 50th and 75th centile x

Daughter was 6lb 14 at birth (36 weeks +4) & lost 6% at birth. The HV weighed her yesterday at 6 weeks. Little milk monster is 9lb 12!

If you’re worried about LO weight gain speak to the HV or GP. I would have thought they’d have said if they were concerned. You know your baby best so if you don’t think it’s enough for LO then they can give you advice on what you can do.

My boy was 8lb 4 at birth but lost 15% in first few days. He was 10lb 14 oz at 6 weeks

My son was 7lb4oz at birth, had regained birth weight at 5 day heel prick, and just had 6 week check today (although will be 7 weeks on Thursday) and is 11lb5oz

He's following his curve, which is what they look for most of all xx

my boy was 9lb 2oz at birth, dropped to 8lb 8oz and at 6 weeks he was 11lb 2oz and is at 50th centile

My baby seems huge compared to others. He is 13lb and 7.5 weeks. He was born at 8lb 2 and 75th percentile. He jumped to the 86th but is back to the 75th. I think he had a growth spurt early on! I was worried he was gaining too much weight so complete opposite. But your growth might speed up just like mine slowed down. Babies are so different and grow at different rates!
