How much weight has your baby gained since they were born?

I know my baby has had slow weight gain but haven’t really got anything to compare it to.

From 3.4 to 7.2 kg, so a bit more than doubled, he’s 4 and a half months

Mine has gone from 4.5kg to 6.8kg, also 4.5 months! 😢

3.6kg to about 6.5kg. He’s dropped from the 50th percentile to the 25th percentile but the midwives said not to worry as long as he’s looking healthy and happy… babies are all different with the weight gain

Also I read that breastfed babies tend to gain more in first 6 months and after that it’s the other way around. But honestly I wouldn’t worry about it if he’s healthy and happy

mine is breastfed! 😩

8lbs born and now at 15.1lbs, he’s just under 5 months, he dropped from 50th to 25th centile but they have no concerns. I am working on seeing if I can get him back up but I feed on demand and let him lead me

If you’re feeding on demand and he’s not hungry, there’s not really much else to do and you’re doing great! Also weaning is just around the corner, that might bring a change too 😊

that’s what I thought. He’s grabbing everything I eat when I am holding him so hopefully he will enjoy his food! The consultant did say a while back (when he was on the 50th centile), don’t worry about graphs, he has a double chin so is doing just fine!
My concern is that he’s so long which probably doesn’t give a true representation of his weight in comparison to other babies (99 percentile!).

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
