My daughter is 3.5 months old and is 21 pounds. She wears 6-9 month clothes and size 4 diapers. Is she too big? I'm so nervous that she's growing too fast. She doesn't go to the doctor until the end of April.
Thanks everyone. I'm not sure how long she is. I'll find out everything tomorrow. She looks big, but she's proportioned. I wasn't concerned until others started saying she's too big.
Some babies grow fast and others grow slow. My dad was a 6 pound baby and by the time he was a year old he was 35 pounds. He also grew to be a very large man. Not fat but tall and muscular. My daughter was 5 pounds 10 1/2 oz at birth and by a year old was only about 17 pounds. It wouldn't hurt to bring your concerns up to your doctor but if they don't think it's an issue, then she's probably fine. Once she becomes more mobile she will slim down some too.
She's only ever had two bottles. She drinks straight from the tap. I just saw something about weight gain and forceful letdown, so that might be what's going on.
I called and made her an appt for tomorrow for them to check her over. We were chunky babies, but not chunky as she is. We weren't breastfed, and I know that could be a factor. Are there any specific questions I should ask? I told them I think she's gaining weight too fast and I feel like they'll shrug it off when we go.
Her last appointment was in February and she was 13 pounds. The doctor was happy with her weight gain. She breast feeds on demand. I've heard that you can't overfeed a breastfed baby, but she always wants milk. Should I take her in to the ped early?
She is too cute! She is a little chunky but Im sure once she gets more active crawling things like that she will slim down. My son is 20lbs now but hes about to be 2 hes considered small for his age. Every Child is diffrent hun so don't really worry to much about it. She will work it out soon enough.
My son at that age was around 18lbs ebf and in 6-9 clothing.
Now he's 18months and doesn't stop all his rolls have gone and I miss them ?
She is absolutely beautiful and I bet cuddles with her are the best ?
