babys weight dip*
my son was born at 39+2 weighing 8lb 4oz, he didn’t really lose any birth weight! he was originally around the 75th percentile up until 9 weeks when he was weighed again & he was weighing 13lb 3oz & had dropped to the 65th which as a exclusively breastfeeding and first time mum i was concerned, so got him weighed again today he is 13 weeks (3 months) and he was weighing 14lb 8oz and has dropped again to the 57th percentile i’m starting to panic loads now! is this normal? has anyone’s baby’s weight dipped around 3 months, the health visitors said they wasn’t concerned but i am.

my health visitor said it’s completely normal for there weight to drop like this it’s because they are getting more active moving arms and legs more. my little girl was born 9lb 4 and now 14lbs at 15 weeks.
It can be yes! My son was born 6.8 at 38+5 and is now 17Ibs.. it all depends on the baby. I’ve also heard babies weight doesn’t double until between 4-6 months n when they have growth spurts around this time their weight becomes constant x
As long as baby is having weight nappies and is drinking like normal you have nothing to worry about x
