Aw aliss - how cute!!!

 

[Dimbo]

Bigbetty, she's grown so quickly! I also don't have any comparison photos. I'll have to go back and look at old photos and see what I can recreate, but as with Aliss, she's outgrown everything.

Lynnikins, woohooo, I've found someone bigger than my LO! Although, he's a boy, so I think I may still have trouble finding a girl just as big/bigger

Congrats on your new BFP

 

[lynnikins]

well EJ currently is 13.6kg according to my digital scales lol,

 

[Dimbo]

well EJ currently is 13.6kg according to my digital scales lol,

Well that's good news for me. That means he's put on about 2 kg in about 7 months right (if my maths is correct)? So there is hope that I won't have a 25kg baby at 2 months When did it slow down? Was it when he started moving?

 

[lynnikins]

yeah when we moved onto solids and he started moving his weight gain slowed he still is alot bigger than kids his age but hes not chunky at all really lol

Hi ladies! We took Fran to clinic to be weighed and measured today. She is now 15lbs 1.5ozs and has put on 2lbs 2oz in just under 4 weeks. It's pretty much what I expected to be honest lol! She has gone just above the 91st percentile line now too. Her height is 60.5cm or 1ft 11.8inches and is still nicely on the 75th percentile line.

My son is 15 days old

He was born at 9lbs 13oz & last week (weds) he weighed 10.5lbs. He is on 4oz every 3 hours (although tends to go longer through the night) although past 2 nights he has woke up bang on 3 hours for a feed

Is this enough milk, my parents had him lastnight & seem to think he should be on more milk as he is hungry. My MW said not to feed him anymore though?????

How do you know when to feed them & move them up another oz?

 

[juless]

I didn't measure how much Rose ate - if she was hungry I fed her! I did suppliment breastfeeding with formula.

As long as he is gaining weight and your health professionals are happy, then he's doing fine. Some babies are sleepier/hungrier than others. Mine was always awake but only took tiny feeds (1-2oz). Every baby is different, congrats on your chubby monkey, and going from 9.13 to 10.5 means he's doing great!!!!

 

[Kte]

Id only ever up it if he was draining and then still wanting more and going less time between feeds but he sure sounds satisfied on what he is getting for a decent amount of time at the mo

& welcome btw

Hi girls! not checked in for a little while how you all doing? been having a nightmare with Ava's silent reflux and horrendous constipation from the gaviscon! Gone back to using carobel instead hopefully it'll stop the constipation!

 

[Nessicle]

Few more recent piccies of Ava! Got her weighed at 16 weeks and she was 15lb 1oz. Think her weight gain has slowed cos she's not been eating much due to the reflux, and only taking 3-4oz a feed whereas she needs around 6-7oz really given how big she is! Started weaning her she's so funny!!

 

[Nessicle]

This is Ava when she was first born and at 4 months!
