Lailas weight - not as much as had hoped

moped wrote: I weighed her today - on March 1 she was 12.1 at her needles. Today she is only 12.8.....that doesn't seem like much to me. She is 3 months plus 2 weeks old.....I will always find something to worry about.

Don't worry - Dylan is 15 months and only weighs 23 lbs

A&A'smommy replied: I don't know anything about weight gain in a breastfed baby but I'm sure she is fine!!

bawoodsmall replied: What percentile is that? my niece is 3 months and is b/f and only weighs 10'12. Does Laila puke a lot? I know Aiden didnt gain as much as he would have cuz of his puking. He just managed to have enough weight on so the ped didnt freak. He is almost 2 and now weighs 30 lbs. It all works out in the end. I am so like you though. I worry about everything with the kids. Annoying but I cant help it.

Calimama replied: I'm sure she's fine. Miabella is 20 months and 21 lbs.

kimberley replied: a gain is a gain. try not to worry too much. my kids went in spurts. some months a few ounces, some months almost a pound

PrairieMom replied: Al is 22 months and still 20 pounds. we just have tiny little ones, try not to worry.

moped replied:
Her vaccinations.......

moped replied: Honestly i don't think there is a problem, I guess I just thought she would gain faster....she is still at 75 percent or something

Calimama replied:
Ha! Miabella has never hit 75%.

PrairieMom replied:
Al either. we were hanging on at a full 3% last time. Oh well, she is gonna spend that rest of her life trying to be small, may as well let her get a jump on things.

mommy~to~a~bunch replied: I'd say that her weight is fine. She's gaining, that's all that matters. Some babies are on the small side; I know Kayla was!

lovemy2 replied:
That's OK - my Ped determined at her 5 year check up that Olivia will go to college in a car seat It was all good news though because the year before she was still going in her car seat but it would be rear facing

bawoodsmall replied:
Thats the truth. Em was always a big girl and know I worry about her being overweight. I worry to much...Dh tells me all the time.

moped replied: Ok, I am better, she is in the 75th percentile
