98th percentile

I’m in Canada and we use lbs but my son was similar- 99th percentile in all categories- head, height and weight!
He kept gaining and growing fast until he started walking then it slowed down (a bit lol)

My boy is on the 98th centile and he's almost 8 weeks old. He's gone from 4.36kg birth weight to 4.50kg 11 days old, 5.75kg at 4 weeks old and last weigh he was 6.46kg at 6 weeks old. He's also long 61.5cm tall at his last appointment and they aren't worried, he's gaining nicely and said he's all in proportion! We are both tall, around 5ft 8 / 5ft 9. They'd say if they were concerned so I wouldn't worry, he's just a big boy!

At this age it's hard to get a good read. You'll have a much better idea how he's growing as you add more bullet points to chart. I would be more concerned if he was underweight and losing weight. A growing, healthy, chunky baby is not generally a bad thing.

My baby grew at that exact rate. 7.7kg to 8.8kg in a couple of weeks and no one said anything. He was born at 4.2kg and is currently 13.3kg at 11m. Which puts him in the >99/100% lol.

As long as he’s following his own growth curve the % just means that in 100 babies, he would be one of the biggest babies. It doesn’t mean anything negative or poor about health or développement etc.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I am only concerned because the doctor mentioned he was concerned because that was a rapid weight gain in a small amount of time and he wanted to monitor, I asked what would that mean if it keeps rapidly going up? He said well then we would look at ruling out any underlying medical issues… so yeah obviously it’s another rapid weight gain but it’s been a month and I’m not sure what on average babies should be putting on per month… I wouldn’t worry about him personally looking at him, he’s very heavy and solid but physically doesn’t look overweight

Our little man has grown quite consistent but he's a bigger baby too. He weighed 7lbs12 at birth (40+3) and was gaining around 1lb1oz a week (nearly 2kg a month!). He's now 4 months and weighs just over 9kg (98th centile) and 70cm long.
If he's gaining weight quite fast but consistently I wouldn't worry, sign of a healthy baby ☺️ x

yes! Mine was born 7lb 11 at birth 40+1 and obvs now he’s 8.7kg and 67cm. Good to know I’m not alone lol they’re soooo heavy to hold already 😭😭😭😭 thanks for the comment x

He's doing well 😍 my gosh, I know!! My son likes me to walk around whilst breastfeeding - my wrist are shot 😂 x

oooohhh nooo😭 out of curiosity what date was your boy born? Mines 4 months and 1 week too x

17th March ☺️ when was your son born? x

16th March! 🩵 x

Arrr 😍 amazing 🤍 x

My daughter was born 75th percentile then got onto the 95th and is now on 99.5 in her little red book 😭 me and her dad are both relatively short/average and lean but she’s a chunky little muscle machine it’s dead funny. I’m sure your little one will be grand, all babies develop at their own pace

i converted and my son was exactly 20lbs and on the high curve for a while too! your baby is healthy and youre doing great
