Baby weight gain? Too much?

Question

My son weighed 6 lbs 13 oz at birth. 6 lbs 9 oz when we left the hospital. He will be 3 weeks old on Sunday and he weighs 9 lbs now!! That seems like a lot of gain or is that normal?

Answer 1

ur  son should gain doubble hes birth weight by he is 1 month, its normal hun dont be so worried ur doing a good job congrats im 14 weeks and cant wait

Answer 2

My second daughter weighed 9 pounds at birth, and at her 2 month checkup weighed 14 pounds.

She's still a big girl-20 pounds at 5 1/2 months.

All babies grow at different rates. Some gain weight faster than others, others grow taller.

Don't worry too much. A lot of things that might freak you out a little are normal at this stage. Unless the doc has something to say about it, I'm sure everything is fine.

Enjoy him!  

Answer 3

It seems that you have a healthy baby,  Congratulations!

Answer 4

yes don't worry it's normal.

Answer 5

Every baby grows at a different rate. I would not be concerned.

Answer 6

my baby weighed 7lbs 10oz when we left the hospital and at her 1 month checkup she was almost 11!!! My doctor said just as long as it tapers off as she gets a little bigger, which it has. It's normal, don't worry.
