We call him our baby beast because he's hovering around 30 at 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473821 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:32:47 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1473821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes or close to it. I don't remember exactly what he was at 12m but at 15m he was 24.5lbs and tripling for him would've been 22.5. So I assume he had at 12m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473809 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:30:56 +0000 BelugaBean 1473809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, she was 8 lb 5 oz at birth and I believe around 21 or 22 lb at a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473778 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:23:23 +0000 Bao 1473778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, she was 6lbs9oz at birth and I think 16lbs at one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473774 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:22:47 +0000 shopaholic 1473774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 1 today!

He's a chunky baby, he's still gaining at least an ounce a day, I keep saying his weight gain has to slow at some point. ;)</p> <p>@rahlyrah: lol, mine too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473612 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:58:36 +0000 JoJoGirl 1473612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm.. she was 6.5 at birth and 18 last week at a 10 month visit... so she'll probably fall a little short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473603 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:56:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 1473603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's see, at birth he was 8lb,12oz<br /> At 6 months he was 19lbs,5oz<br /> And at 1 year he was 24lbs, 11oz. </p> <p>So yes, just about!</p> <p>But at 19 months he's also the size of a two year old... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473573 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:53:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 1473573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

She was 5 lb 6 oz at birth and was 19 lb 8 oz at 12 months, but she was low birth weight for gestational age. I'm surprised that its the norm to triple by one year. It seems like that would be a lot for many babies born with average to above average birth weights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473234 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:09:57 +0000 sotofamilia 1473234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, exactly. He was 8 lbs 2 oz at birth and 24 lbs 6oz at 12 months. His doctor said he must have read the book lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473217 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:08:55 +0000 NurseMommy 1473217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard this but definitely think it's very dependent on baby's size at birth. We are on track to triple, but dd was only 6lb7oz at birth, so only needs to be 19lb5oz to triple. She's currently 17lb8oz at 9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473212 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:08:07 +0000 Sapphiresun 1473212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't doubt it? </p> <p>She was born at 7lb 9oz, and was 18lbs at her 6 month appt, and triple would be about 22 lbs which seems more than reasonable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1/page/2#post-1473147 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:02:01 +0000 lawbee11 1473147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not unless she gains 6lbs in the next 5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473135 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:00:52 +0000 kjpugs 1473135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can see it happening- at less than 5 months she's pretty much doubled it. (7 lb 12 oz, - now 15 lb half an ounce.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473124 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:58:53 +0000 Adira 1473124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: I had the same problem with my in-laws! My SIL breeds big babies! And I EBF'd Xander until 6 months and beyond because it took him a long time to even be interested in solids! Oh well! Just try to ignore them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473108 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:56:00 +0000 Cchoi4 1473108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hadn't heard about this measure but DS was roughly 6.5 lbs at birth. Now at 7 months, he is around 20 lbs...big boy. So i guess he will be even bigger by 1 yr...but as long as they stay on their growth curve, everythings ok right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473103 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:55:37 +0000 blackbird 1473103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E won't be! Once she started crawling and walking, she really hasn't gained a lot of weight at all! She was 8 lb 2 oz at birth and is just shy of 20 lb at 11 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473102 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:55:25 +0000 meganmp 1473102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS- 7lbs 11oz at birth, 24 lbs at 1 (a bit more than triple)<br /> DD- 5lbs 3 oz at birth, (almost four and a half times).</p> <p>Are my babies just fatsos? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473092 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:54:20 +0000 emg86 1473092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: I've heard some peditrician's believe that this is about average. Mine doesn't for sure and she thinks it's a terrible "rule of thumb" that some docs use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473080 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:52:36 +0000 emg86 1473080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yep, my pedi isn't concerned and neither am I. My SIL had big babies and I guess she thinks mine should be big too and she's always concerned cause I breastfeed and when J isn't interested in solids then we skip them, she must think she's starving, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-triple-their-birth-weight-by-the-age-of-1#post-1473076 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:52:04 +0000 sandy 1473076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of that - my LO was 8lbs 8oz at birth and 20lbs at a year...but now she's a chunk again at 30lbs at 2 years old </p>
