Baby jumped from 50th to 91st percentile in ONE MONTH

Hi everyone - help please!

In just one month, my baby has jumped from the 50th percentile in weight to the 91st! He’s 6 months and already 9kg! Can this be normal? Anyone else’s baby done the same?

Should mention that I no longer live in the UK and don’t have access to my HV anymore.

Mine jumped from 28th to 40th from 5-6months and a couple of friends babies have jumped a lot this month too. Think it’s probs normal

Mine jumped from 75 to 95 in 10 days as a newborn and pretty much stayed there, he is now in 9-12 clothes. If it's not steroid related then I wouldn't worry. How do you know how much he weighs? The bathroom scales can be unreliable for babies.

Mine has jumped from 25th to 75th we figured this out when he was weighed by the peadatrciion / HV neither were concerned xx

My LG did exactly the same but she is also very long. Now looking at 9-12 month clothes and she's not yet 6 months. They all grow at different weights so i wouldn't worry too much as long as they are happy in themselves. Hv wasn't worried either
