I have a question... On average how much is a 4 month old supposed to weigh? My son was born at 8…

My daughter was 15 lbs by then

my daughters 17 lbs now. was born 8.6

How much did she weigh at birth?

@mamaof003, also did the doctors get on you for her being that weight at that age?

@n.ocir, have the doctors gotten on you about her weight? Cause my son at his last check up was 16 pounds... And the doctor got mad at me for him being that weight. And I have to take him tomorrow and I'm just scared they'll be even more mad if he's bigger this time! I'm sad cause I don't want to get in trouble or something.

@ortegacass661, No. my doctor loves her weight. As long as she's healthy my docot has no problem. They shouldn't get mad at you for that. I feed my daughter on demand so that's why she's a chunky girl.

That's why my sons so chubby too! I don't deny him either breastmilk or formula at any time. Although I do try to keep him on schedule. (Sometimes doesn't work) lol how much do you feed her?

I tried putting her on a schedule, but it didn't work for us. I feed her about 12 times a day at most 9 times the least. she eats small portions, but frequently. I feed her at night at any hour is she wants to. I just don't go past 4 hours.

Oh ok my son eats less because if I give him formula he takes a 5-6oz bottle. But I suck at keeping track of the times he eats. If he does want to eat more frequently I give him 2-4 oz. @n.ocir

your son is the perfect weight. The only time I'd ever be concerned is if he's losing weight. Just don't stress about what the doctor is saying. As long as he's healthy in every other aspect. @ortegacass661

Thank you so much for your support. I feel like my son is as healthy as can be. He's hitting his milestones perfectly and well he's just perfect. I just fear them telling me he's too fat and then they take him away from me. But I am going to let that fear go. Thank you so much. mm.ocir

@ortegacass661, I doubt they'd try to take him ... the doctor might recommend a different diet but they shouldn't take your baby.

@ortegacass661, she was 8.4 no her dr never said anything about it babies will stretch out when they start to walk I know Drs are trying to help with childhood obesity But if my child's hungry I'm not going to tell her no or put her on a diet they are still babies I understand when they are bigger not to give them junk food lol
