baby's weight gain?
Emily was 9lbs 10oz at birth, was 9-6 when we came home from the hospital, and now
1 week: 9-6 3 weeks: 10-8 5 weeks: 11-4 (today)
I'm wondering how much all of your babies gained at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc.
The doctors seem pleased, but I am wondering about what amount of weight gain is normal.

Re: baby's weight gain?
Emma gained about 1lbs a month and Jeremy gained 1-2lbs a month (Jeremy born at 7lbs 8oz and now at 9 1/2 months he's 20lbs)
By 6 months baby should double his/her birthweight.

Re: baby's weight gain?
Okay well Emily is about 1.5 lbs over her birth weight and she's 5 weeks! So I think that's okay!

Re: baby's weight gain?
Miranda was 8lbs at birth, 7lb 4oz when we come home and when she was weighed last Friday she was 9lb 5oz. She's a slow gainer though because of the reflux she doesn't eat as much as some other babies but she's gaining and healthy so thats all that matters right now.

Re: baby's weight gain?
I think my baby average 2lbs a month in the beginning. I typically have my appointments in the middle of his month.
Born at 7lbs 2oz (3 weeks early) 2nd Month (6 week visit) - 11lbs Mid-3rd Month - 13lbs 11 oz Mid-4th Month - 16lbs 2 oz Late-5th Month - 17lbs 15 oz Early 9th Month -23lbs 3oz
Since his 2nd month he has always been in 90th percentile for height and weight.

Re: baby's weight gain?
I posted a weight topic also: I was nervous of my daughters fast weight gain but the doctor said shes doing fine and when her height catches up she will slim out. Julia weighed 8lbs 5 oz at birth, when she came home she was 8-3. At one month she was 12-3, then at 2 months she was 15-6, at 3 months she was 17-9. Shes 4 months now, and she is still over her %-tile but not way off the curve.
