Ebf & slow weight gain Dd will be 3 months old on Friday & she is gaining weight pretty slowly. In the last 3 weeks she…

Thank you ladies!

My daughter will be 3 months Wednesday. She gained a lot very fast and now is gaining slowly. My first gained verrrrrry slow the entire first year. And my second was somewhere in the middle. I think sometimes there's too much emphasis put on the numbers. All kids are different. Almost a lb sounds about right for this age. They say double the birth weight by 6 months. Even my slooooooooow gainer did it before 6 months.

Breastfed babies should really used the WHO growth charts bc they gain differently than formula fed but not all Drs do.

Thank you!

Oh and my doctor isn't concerned :)

I think it's fine. I have a little boy. He is consistently under the 10th percentile. He was in the third percentile at his 4 month appointment. As long as she is gaining and staying within her growth curve and happy and making enough diapers I wouldn't worry.
