Since we started bottled feeding during the day LO's weight gain has slowed down by about 50%. She only just doubled her birthweight at nearly 4 months old. How old was your LO when they doubled their birth weight
-
Between 3 and 4 months old.
-
We just weighed her yesterday and she's at 14lbs so I think she'll get to it by her 4 month check up.
-
LO is 5 months and last week when I weighed her she still hasn't doubled her birth weight. she was born at 6-12, at 4 months she was 11-2, and two weeks ago she was 11-9. I can't imagine her being 13-8 any time soon!
-
LO hit 14 lbs by 9 weeks
-
(she is EBF)
-
@formula323: WOW! At 9 weeks!? Impressive
Good little eater.
-
LO doubled his birth weight really fast (within 2 months) but he was born at 4.5 lbs.
-
Doubling birth weight at 4 months is pretty good! I believe they want babies to reach that mark around 6 months, generally. My first baby doubled it somewhere around 5 months I think (she was 100% FF at that point)... My second baby, not til 7ish months (she was EBF).
-
Somewhere between 10 and 12 weeks. He was 7 lbs at birth.
-
He was 8 # 9 oz at birth and reached 17 pounds at 12 months old. We had some weight gain issues.
-
C is 4 1/2 months and she's still several pounds off. I bet it'll be between 5 and 6 months for us.
-
She hit 16 lbs at 4 months!
-
LO doubled his birthweight at about 10 weeks? He was 6.9 at birth and 12.8 at his 2-month checkup.
-
LO was 6lbs. 11 oz. at birth. She doubled her birth weight between 2 and 3 months. At 4 months she is 15 lbs. But she gained a lot during her first 6 weeks--her pediatrician said she was way above average for weight gain for EBF babies at that time.
-
@formula323: Whoa baby!
-
My LO was 8lbs 8oz at birth; EBF; started solids at 6 months and she was 16lbs 3oz at her 6 month check up
-
If I recall correctly not until almost 12 months (was 8lb 0.07oz at birth) but she had grown almost a foot in that year; at 28m she weighs 25lbs and was almost 3ft tall
-
She is three months old now and is still three pounds away from doubling her birth weight (which would be 14 lbs).
-
@regberadaisy @mrsjazz I know! LO is safely in the 98th percentile. She's already hit 16 lbs at 12 weeks, holy cow. I'm just grateful my milk supply has been able to match her appetite so far.
-
I think Lily is probably there she will be 4 months on the 28. She was 13 lbs 12 oz at 3 months 1 week.
-
Baby X doubled his birth weight around 7.5 months, if I had to guess. We don't weigh him between doctor appointments, but he was 8lbs at birth, 15lbs at 6 months, and 17lbs at 9 months.
-
Ok thanks guys, it makes me less worried about LO. She is gaining weight but not as much as when she was being exclusively breastfed.
Good little eater.
