Doubling birth weight

[eliz77]

Gotcha! Thanks! The only time I've seen 0-3 months, etc, is on Gerber's Sleep 'n Plays so got confused. LO just outgrew those, but the Carters size 3 still fit. I guess I need to start washing the stash we have in the next size up! They look huge right now!

My little guy is EBF and has gained about 5lbs since birth. He's almost 2 months. So, BF babies can gain too!!!! ;-)

Yes!!! When I tell ppl LO is 15lbs they think I'm feeding him too much- he's ebf as well. Babies come in all shapes and sizes and mine just happens to be a bit rounder!

LO was 7lb 6oz at birth and weighed in at 12lb 6oz on Friday (8wks6days). He didn't double his birthweight, but he lost 10% in the hospital, so he's pretty much doubled from there. I've been pumping after each feeding since birth and EPing since 2.5 weeks due to latch and transfer issues. I had to supplement about half of his intake with formula initially. Depending on my supply from day to day now, I sometimes have to supplement a couple of ounces, but sometimes not at all.

This! Everyone talks about how big he is and "he definitely doesn't struggle with eating." Well, I would have it this way rather than him not eating enough. He's 3 months old, yes I'm sure he's not older, I was there when he was born and yes I know he's a big boy. I just happen to birth large children. LET IT GO!

My mother in law was like "we are going to have to do something about all that snacking he's doing" this was during a growth spurt and we feed on demand. So freaking annoying!

This! I know my baby has a double chin and fat rolls, but at least he isn't starving!

Yep, LO is EBF and has gained six pounds already, she just turned two months on the twelfth.
