How Small is Too Small. Your baby's weight at 2 months if around 7 lb at birth.PLEASE

Lily was 7lb 4 born and at 2 months was 9lb 14. She is just under the 25th percentile line but she has followed this from around 2 weeks old . I have been advised to not get lo weighed too often as weight gain id rarely smooth, and lots of factors can affect it eg. Has baby just been fed? Has she pooed recently etc.
Ps Lily was 12 days overdue so with a smaller birth weight I guess she will be a smaller baby throughout!x
 
hi hun leo was born at 42 weeks weighing 6lb 15oz.

at 2 weeks he was 7lb 3oz.

hes now 4 months and hes only 12lb 2oz.

dont worry mate the doctors would say if they were worried.x
 
Don't pay much attention to percentiles hun! Sounds asif she's fine to me, here's my sons weight track:

Born @7lb 13oz, 1 week @ 8lb 2oz, 2 weeks @ 9lb 5oz, 3 weeks @ 10lb 4oz, 5 weeks @ 11lb 14oz, 7 weeks @ 13lb 8oz.

They didn't weigh him at his 2 month checkup, 'nor did my health visitor turn up last week like she should of, he's definitely heavier now but I don't know specifically. But everyone keeps commenting on my LO's "tree trunk legs" etc....stupid people. I have no concern about my LO being overweight despite being in the 25th percentile for height and 95th for weight, he's happy and healthy, so if your LO is happy in herself then she's more than likely fine :)
