I have no idea what my daughter weighs. The other day someone asked me her stats (for sizing a dress she bought) and I had to guess. I have no clue. I know what she weighs once a year - when we go to the pediatrician.
Do you know how much your lo weighs? How do you know?

DD1 likes to look at our digital scale so she hops on when she's in my bathroom.
DD2 and DD3 still have fairly regular well visits so they are weighed often enough for me to have a good idea.

I have guesstimates, but no exact weight.
DS1 hasn't been officially weighed in almost a year since his 3 year well visit. I'm guessing he's 28 lbs. Skinny boy.
DS2 was weighed 3 months ago at his 12 month visit. He was 19.5 lbs then so I'm guessing 21 lbs now.

We have a toddler/baby scale that we bought when I had DS1 b/c I was freaking out that he wasn't getting enough while breastfeeding when he was itty bitty. So we use that from time to time.

I know how much Xander weighs - he likes stepping on the scale. Not sure about Logan, but I can take an educated guess since I know Xander's weight.

Yes! As of her 9 month appointment a week ago she is 24lbs 2oz!
As long as they can stand stable on their own, you should be able to put them on any scale at home and get a weight.

No idea! We are also down to the once a year checkup, and we don't have a scale in the house.

LO1 is 32 pounds. He loves hopping on our digital scale and reading the numbers, and we just had him at the pediatrician for a sick visit where they confirmed his weight.
LO2 is about 13.5 pounds and is a peanut. He still gets regular well visits, and we also recently had him at the office for a sick visit too!
ETA: I will sometimes weigh myself, then grab LO2 and weigh us together to see an approximation of what he weighs.

Not exactly since DD has yet to go in for her 15 mo check up. I def have a range in mind since I doubt she gained THAT much since 12 mo!

He's tiny so yes - plus we've been tr thr Doctor quite a bit this winter. 25lbs for my 3yo.

Yes, because he loves to weigh himself on the digital scale in our bathroom (3.5 and 46lbs!)

Yep bc they both just had Drs appts. Lo1 is 30.5lb and lo2 is 25.5 lb (20 mo difference)

Yes, because we just had her 12 month check-up where I was shocked to find out she wasn't even 17 lbs! I obviously know she's a peanut but I guess I don't have a good idea how to guesstimate bc I would have said she was 20 lbs by now and not even close!
@Mrs.KMM: @MrsBrewer: Your 9 month olds would crush my 12m.o.!!

All I know is that she's somewhere north of 25 lbs. We haven't been to the doctor in quite awhile (hooray! and knock on wood).

@petitenoisette: We've got a lot of really big babies in our June 2015 moms group!

I can guess based on his last doctor visit - at his 18 month he was 25 lbs 10 oz. I'm guessing he is around 27-28 now at 19 months. He has been eating a ton lately, so he is chubbing up a bit again.

I have a baby scale that is pretty accurate. I bought it when DS1 was a newborn and having feeding issues. It was the best purchase. So yes, I know that DS2 weighs about 15.5 lbs and DS2 just went to the doctor for his 3 year and weighs 34lbs.

I do. LO likes to hop on the digital scale in our master bathroom to "see the numbers". We've had some weight-gain issues too and for a while had to go to the pediatrician regularly for weight checks so I like to keep an eye on her weight too.

Yes, because she always gets on our bathroom scale. Last I looked she was just under 25 pounds (just turned three).

Yes--my sister has a scale in her bathroom and the girls always want to be weighed when we go there.

LO1 is 35 lbs, and he is turning 5 next month. LO is 25 lbs, and he is 28 months old.

I monitor my son's weight all the time because was always having trouble gaining weight as a babe. He's 18 months now and 35" tall, so long and thin. He was 23 pounds in January and then was 24.6 pounds in February, but then he got sick and as of Monday was back down to 23.6. Sigh.
pomegranate / 3438 posts
Yup. He loves to stand on our scale. I think he is around 46 lbs. He will be 4 in a couple weeks!

Our LO also likes to stand on the digital scale--she's around 25.5 lbs at 32 months. And LO2 is already 19 lbs at 7 months, haha.

Yes, I take monthly photos and weigh them for their stats. I also keep track of the measurements from Dr's visits. I put into my Total Baby app and it track their weights and percentiles.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
Yep. She's 16.5 lbs. I stepped on the scale with her yesterday since she turned 5 months. I weigh her every couple weeks out of curiosity.

B was at the ped for a visit last week. He was 25 lbs. A hasn't been to the dr since early December and she was 20 lbs. I think she's a gained a little bit since then.

Another one here who likes to weigh herself on the bathroom scale. She was 28.6 today.

Unfortunately I do, I get into obsessive stages with my son because he was borderline failure to thrive and I can't stand not knowing. He's about 23/24lbs for the last couple of weeks, will be 2 in 2 days.

I think he is around 38 lbs. And I know that due to our recent Urgent Care visit. Woot! Obviously, fun times.
