Numerous weight checks and obsessing over his eating was doing nothing to help the cause.

LO1 was 16lb at 4 months so probably doubled around 5? LO2 is almost 6 months and I don't think she'll have doubled yet at her next appointment (she was under 14lb at her 4 month appointment). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1/page/2#post-2526504 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 20:54:08 +0000 Charm54 2526504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember with dd1...

Haha! My biggest arrived ten days early. I labored for 57 hours with my first and then cut to the chase with the next two. I'm so grateful for c-sections! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2526110 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 13:45:16 +0000 simplyfelicity 2526110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone for your answers! It's true, every baby grows at their own rate and he is happy. Plus, he was enormous at birth. </p> <p>@MamaCate: @chibee: @oliviaoblivia: @Truth Bombs: While I was in the pp wing on the hospital, my OB came by every morning and told me (each morning!) that I should "shoot" for a smaller baby next time :shocked: because I was in labor for so long and pushed for 3 hours. Like dead serious. My husband is 6'3 and all of the babies in my family and his are in the 8-10 range. My sister's daughter was 5 weeks early and still 5 lbs. Yeah, dr., I'll get right on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2526095 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 13:30:43 +0000 maddyz 2526095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 pounds at birth, 18 pounds just shy of 3 months. kids an eating machine. but didnt really gain between 9 and 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2526073 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 13:01:46 +0000 MrsKoala 2526073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months.

This is what we have seen with our DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2526030 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:00:10 +0000 Ms.Badger 2526030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just checked, J was a big baby (9 lb 5 oz) and just barely doubled at 6 mo (18 lbs 11.5 oz), but my doctor didn't mention it as a thing, he has always just noted how J's growing exactly on his curve (right around 75% weight and 65% for height) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2526026 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 11:58:05 +0000 SweetCaroline 2526026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 11 months. She was 8lb at birth. Don't sweat it...9lb is a big baby and she is settling into her petite self. That's what our doctor said and it has proven to be true. Our DD was also anemic and is no longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2526024 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 11:53:43 +0000 MamaCate 2526024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I am glad your ped isn't worried but I understand your concern! I think with your DS being so big at birth and so active now that he is mobile, that probably explains it. To answe your question, I think both babies had doubled by 6-9 months, with LO1 not hitting it until closer to 9 and LO2 by 6 I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2525944 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 10:45:41 +0000 chibee 2525944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months (7lb 15ozs, then he was 16lbs at 4 months) - i think there's a big difference though, between doubling weight of a 6lb baby and a 9.5lb baby like yours! Jack wasn't 18lbs until he was around 8 months either! He's now 20 months and becoming more long and lean (like his father) so he's only 25lbs but 33.5 inches at his 18 month appt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2525891 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:49:42 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2525891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well LO was 1lb15oz....it prob took 3 months to double...all in NICU of course ;) He quadrupled it before we left...then it prob took nearly a year for him to double his going home weight of 8lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2525858 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:28:16 +0000 krispi 2525858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a 9 pounder, and she doubled between 6 and 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-double-their-birth-weight-1#post-2525330 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:01:51 +0000 petitenoisette 2525330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO doubled by 4 months (born 6 lb 7 oz) but has slowed way down since then and wasn't even 17 lbs at her one year. </p> <p>Question, are ya'll doing this by memory? Because I totally had to look it up on her online health record :silly: I can barely even remember her birthweight anymore!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: I love hearing about other small LOs.
