LO was 17 lbs at 7 months and she was almost 20lbs at one year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207564 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 21:57:37 +0000 Adira 1207564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I &lt;3 HB so much - you all make me feel so much better about all the things us parents stress over!! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207467 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:36:23 +0000 sarac 1207467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby had months where she didn't gain at all - it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207394 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 19:47:17 +0000 cmomma17 1207394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't stress mama! It's normal for weight gain to slow! Even if it's mostly rolling he's definitely burning more calories playing these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207387 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 19:44:22 +0000 Smurfette 1207387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it! I think it just slows down at this age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207366 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 19:33:26 +0000 JerricaBenton 1207366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO didn't gain more than a lb from 6 - 8 months. Dr said it was normal since she started crawling and standing during that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207043 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 14:27:01 +0000 Adira 1207043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Thanks for the advice! I'm curious if our pediatrician will be concerned or not. I'll have to try giving him more fatty solids, though he still doesn't eat a ton of solids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1207038 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 14:22:06 +0000 hilsy85 1207038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry...my Lo dropped down to 9th percentile (from 16th) at last visit but the pedi wasn't concerned! You know his much milk he's getting due to bottles right? If anything, mauve try to add high fat solids (banana, avocado, cheese). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206974 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 13:34:56 +0000 Adira 1206974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 8 months. He has been pretty steady around 15% for weight, but with this current measurement, he's down to 9%.</p> <p>He's not SUPER mobile - he rolls a lot, but no crawling or anything like that yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206955 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 13:16:31 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1206955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They level off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206940 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 13:04:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 1206940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>O definitely slowed down as she got older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206931 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:57:37 +0000 brownie 1206931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is he? At 4 months breastfed babies tend to slow down in growth. Then again when they get moving a lot more. My ftt baby literally stopped growing AND had bad stools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206923 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:46:58 +0000 stargal 1206923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has he became mobile lately? P lost a pound instead of gaining when he became mobile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206878 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:11:24 +0000 swedishfish 1206878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it's fine...doesnt weight gain slow as babies get older? How are his diapers? He's eating...I'm sure he's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-only-gained-05-lbs-in-almost-2-months#post-1206877 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:09:41 +0000 Adira 1206877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So Xander's next well visit isn't until December, but after our ER visit last night, I've realized he's only gained 0.5 lbs in almost 2 months! That's not good, right??? </p>
