weight question???

[mrsdcooper]

hi
i dont want to worry, but i cant help it

Hermione has followed the 50th percentile line pretty much since birth. this week i just had her weighed and she has jumped above the line and now weighs 15.5 pounds at 18 weeks and is between the 50 and 75th percentile line. i dont want her to be overwight, am i feeding her to much?

is this normal, is she weighing to much for her age?

15.5lbs sounds fine to me. I dont believe that babies can be over weight, they tend to lose some weight when they become active. from what I can remember Dec was about 16-17lbs when he was 4 months, he did tend to go over his line then below his line but now at 15 months he is a very healthy 24.5lbs and bang on his 50% line. Dont worry hun some babies to tend to gain a lot then lose some then gain some more. xx
