That is when I remember starting to not buy clothing constantly and DS can still wear the stuff from last spring/summer (mostly 24mo/2T and some 18-24mo) now at 25 mo. However, I just looked back over his growth chart and the rapid weight gain seemed to slow down considerably after ~9mo. He has only gained ~7 lbs since then. sslm on "When does the rapid growth slow down?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-rapid-growth-slow-down#post-842704 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 06:41:01 +0000 sslm 842704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I hope it's soon because my LO is rapidly growing out of everything. She's 7 weeks and a lot of her 0-3 month stuff no longer fits!!!!!!

We started buying size 3 diapers when DS was about 5 or 5.5 months old. He wore them for 6 to 7 months. We switched to size 4s when he was close to a year old and we're still using those at 21 months.

By age 1, he was 12 inches taller than his birth height. But he really slowed down after his birthday. I think he only grew about 4 inches his second year. As for diapers, we use gDiapers and he wore mediums from 4-15 months. hilsy85 on "When does the rapid growth slow down?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-rapid-growth-slow-down#post-842012 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:10:16 +0000 hilsy85 842012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 4 months for us...in terms of diapers I think size 3 tends to last a long time.

And then slowed a *bit* But by 6m, he seems to have stopped! Not really:) but in comparison? Yes- it's pretty much come to a slow hault. He is the same pound that he was at 6m, even though he is less than a week from 8m old.

Right now they seem to still be gaining about a 1/2 a pound a week. They're 10 lbs 10 oz and 12 pounds 2 oz right now at 13 weeks (9 adjusted-not sure if that matters for this). How old was your LO when they slowed down on how quickly they grew?
