Whats the average weight of quads/quints/sextuplet babies..?

Question

when coming home from the NICU?

someone asked me a couple days ago, i think just out of curiosity or she didnt tell me why, but i honestly have no clue so thank God for yahoo answers lol

but ya, im THINKING 5lbs? i obviously know thats not what they weigh at birth, but don't they have to be close to 5lbs before being discharged? i could be totally wrong and probaly am so ill let you smart people answer

again, no rude answers. my lifes too busy to care what you think of my question

DISCLAIMER*

no im not having quads/quints/sextuplets

i am a triplet not a quadruplet or a quin or a sextuplet as many ppl say that ive been saying im either one of the last 3

im simply curious to know and haved been asked but what to know roughly before answering

now that we got that allll settled, go ahead and click that little blue bar and answer :)

thanks

Answer 1

They have to be 5 pounds to get in the carseat and go home, but many doctors let them go home if they are 4 1/2 pounds and healthy.

Answer 2

Honestly, I would agree with you. My son was a single birth, but he weighed only 4 11 at birth and he couldnt go home untill he was 5 lbs. If they dont have to weigh 5 lbs, maybe a little over, but think you are close to the average weight when they go home.
