He eats like a horse and it just small. But his growth is great, so that makes me happy.</p> <p>@littlek: I mean, T is still 5th for weight and 15th for height (15 lbs 12 oz and 27 inches at almost 9 months old). But our doctor is happy and I feel like he's gotten so big. He's in 9 months clothes and we had lunch the other day and a 9 month old baby was sitting next to us and didn't look much bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-561905 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:38:15 +0000 littlek 561905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: nice!!! I'm interested to see how B is doing even though I always leave the pediatrician sad about his percentiles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-561880 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:29:07 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 561880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can look at the growth curves to see the slow down visually represented. They really flatten out after a little while.</p> <p>Edited to add: Lala is tracking along in the 4th %ile. I think that's just who she is :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-561786 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:54:18 +0000 winniebee 561786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy to report that at 9 months old, my little peanut has continued to gain a pound a month (and has tripled his birth weight). Maybe he'll bust out of the 5th percentile by his 1st birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435436 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:02:14 +0000 red_seattle 435436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toddler X doubled his birth weight at 6 months. Then, from 6-12 months, Toddler X only gained 2lbs. But that still keeps him on his growth curve (his pediatrician uses the WHO charts). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435426 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:52:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 435426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's growth has slowed down at 4 months. Here's her weight gain so far:</p> <p>Birth - 1 mon: 2 lbs<br /> 1 - 2 months: 2.4 lbs<br /> 2 - 3 months: 2.14 lbs<br /> 3 - 3/4 months: 1.6 lbs<br /> 3 3/4 - 5 months: 1.14 lbs</p> <p>She's been eating better and I think she just went through a growth spurt. She has an appointment next week, even though she doesn't turn 6 months until the end of Dec. I'm looking forward to seeing if I'm right about her growth spurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435353 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:24:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 435353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm. I am not sure.<br /> I know that she has gained 7 lbs since she was born and has not yet doubled her birth weight. </p> <p>I think she gained 2 pounds between the four month and six month check up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435288 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:54:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 435288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Per kellymom &amp; the WHO the average gain ranges are:<br /> 0-4 months: 5.5-8.5 ounces per week<br /> 4-6 months: 3.25-4.5 ounces per week<br /> 6-12 months: 1.75-2.75 ounces per week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435276 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:49:44 +0000 winniebee 435276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: That's what I thought. </p> <p>We have an appointment on Monday, so I'll know more about his gain then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435204 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:26:09 +0000 Freckles 435204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doubled her weight at around 5 months (15 lbs) and at 7.5 months she is at 17.6lbs. Her weight gain has definitely slowed down, but the nurse said it was pretty normal after the 6 month mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435198 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:24:01 +0000 prettylizy 435198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doubled her weight exactly at 6 months (6lbs 12ozs to 13lbs9ozs) and last week at 8.5 months she is up to 14.4lbs according to our bathroom scale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435189 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:21:33 +0000 winniebee 435189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Well that's good she's gaining well now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435151 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:11:54 +0000 runsyellowlites 435151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P didn't have that "good" initial growth due to severe tongue tie &amp; food intolerances so she's gained about a lb per month from birth. At her 6 mths appt she weighed 12.4 lb and at 34 weeks (2 weeks shy of 8 mths) she weighed 14 lb even so still on her normal gain track.</p> <p>We still nurse ALOT through the day though and she's not real fond of solids so she's getting a lot more calories than she may have if she was eating more solids &amp; nursing less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435142 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:08:52 +0000 autumnlove 435142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO weighed 17 lbs at her 6 month check up and now weighs 20 lbs at 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-your-lo-gain-after-6-months#post-435131 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:05:10 +0000 winniebee 435131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I've read that babies' growth slows a little after 6 months. Did you experience this? My son gained 2 lbs per month during his first 2 months and then a little over a pound a month in months 3 and 4 and then since then it's been about a pound a month (he's 6.5 months).</p> <p>Did you notice a growth pattern and what was it? </p>
