1 month check in

[junch817]

Something we did for my March '12 kid was have check ins after their doctor appointments. It was fun to see all the differences and similarities in the kids. If anyone is interested I'll start:

DS had his 1 month check up today at 4w, 4d. Height was 22.5" (87%), weight 9lb 15oz (47%), head circumference 39cm (91%). Doing well

[billyhorrible]

We did a 3 week checkup to follow up on the circumcision and BH is doing so well we have no appointment until his 2 month.

Weight: 9lbs 3 oz (46%)
Height: 23 inches (97%)

[mrskblack11]

We don't go back to the pediatrician until 2months.

He is 4w4d and 9.6 lbs right now.

[tiffbot]

We had a 2 week check back on June 18th where she was 9 lbs 9 oz, up 5 ounces from birth, and I'm pretty sure somewhere in the 90s percentile I just can't remember the exact number now haha.

Next appointment won't be until she's 2 months when we do first round of vaccinations.

[musicfrk2002]

Our 2 week appointment he was 8 lbs 1 oz and still 20 inches long. We don't have another appointment until he is 2 months

[ladysif]

Had two week appt. today, he is exactly 2 weeks. 10 lbs 13 oz. (95%) 23" (off the chart). No appt until two months now for us, too. Out of newborn already, glad I didn't buy much!

[tulips114]

Our 2 week appt he was 9lbs 12oz (up over a pound from birth) and 21.75 inches. We don't go back until the 2 month appt.

We also don't go back until two months. But at his two week appt he was 9 pounds 1 ounce, up 11 ounces from birth, and had grown a full inch to 21.75 inches. I don't remember his head measurement but it was 98%. He's a tank.

[megeliz1]

Last week at 2 weeks N was 8lbs 12oz. Will have another weight check today at my breastfeeding support group. Dont go back to the pedi until like 1.5 months. Her schedule is really off because her normal pedi has been OOT since her birth.

[whoopsadaisy]

Like others we had a 2.5 week appt and won't go back until 2 months. LO was 10lbs 4oz, up from 8lbs 6 oz when we left the hospital. 22inches and head circumference was like 15.5 inches or something - it was 99%tile. The doc goes, "he's two weeks or two months old?" Yeah, we know.

[leenziepops]

LO went from 7lb 10oz to 8lb 4oz at his 4week appointment and grew 1cm in length. We gave vaccinations at 6 weeks which I'm dreading

[laurenlou83]

We had our 1 month check up last Wednesday.
Little guy is 9lb6oz and 20 3/4in long.
He was 6lb5oz at birth, so he's growing like a weed!!! He loves to eat.
I can't remember what his head circumference is? It was like 60th percentile though.

[Widget123]

No checkups between 2 weeks and two months for us either. I have a baby scale from DD and if I really want to go crazy a tape measure. LO's weight is currently 7lbs 10oz compared to 6lbs 8oz at birth. 20.5 inches compared to 18.5 at birth but I'm pretty sure they measured him wrong at the hospital because that's what they measured him at the 2 week appt as well.

ETA he is 4 weeks tomorrow.

[baytosa2013]

We had a one month appt yesterday at 4 weeks 4 days. DD was 9lbs on the dot, 21.5 inches (dr said she's petite lol) and I forget head but it was like 75 percentile. Said everything looked and sounded good and she's growing well. She has a bit of reflux though but no meds to give her because its mild.

[Deleted]

We had a two week check up where her weight gain was so strong from birth that the doctor said we don't have to come back until 2 months. Her birth weight was 7 pounds 1 oz. her two week weight was I think around 7 pounds 10 oz.

I'm jealous of everyone getting stats though!

Her height is long for her weight 22". So she still has little thin legs. No rolls yet. So because of her height she is wearing 3 month clothes that fit her length but are baggy in the middle

We're similar - I don't make babies with rolls.  Which is funny because my brother's daughter is a roll-y poley monster.  BH is really tall, but average weight, so he's too long for anything newborn with feet, but too small for 0-3.  So I've just been putting him in newborn shorts/onesies instead of footed sleepers.

You can get percentiles using this calculator.

I think they measured our LO incorrectly at birth too. 19.5in at birth to 22in at two weeks....

They measured DD wrong too by almost an inch at birth

My pediatrician told me length is most unreliable because it's so hard to get an accurate, complete stretch with them wiggling like crazy.

[mcp6286]

Had our 1-month check up today. My human eating machine is up 2lb 2oz to a total of 8lb 11oz from her one week weigh in. Not at all surprising considering how much this kid consumes every day. She also grew 1.5 inches in length.

She got her second Hep B vaccine...I hate hearing her sad little cry I know next month will be worse. This one has no side effects but the upcoming ones apparently make for a super fussy next two days.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Charlotte was 9lb and 22.25in at her 1 month appointment! No vaccines this time because she did the hep b at birth and they don't do the 2nd part until 2 months.

[erbear]

LO was 7 lbs, 9 oz at her checkup today, up from 6 lbs 15 ounces on July 6 (& birthweight)! Her length measurement was messed up; they said she was 19.5 inches but was 20 when born (the pedi said it's the most unreliable measure). Head circumference was 37 cm. no appointment until her 2 month one unless something pops up!

[ravinraven216]

My kid is huge apparently: he was 13lbs 4oz when we went to our check up on Tuesday and he's almost 23in. I think I actually gave birth to a moose instead of a human.

[bruunk]

N had his check up at 2 weeks and won't have another until his 2 month. Birth was 9 lbs 2 oz, 23 inches long, and 14.5 inches head circumference. At his appt he was 10 lbs 4 oz, 22.5 inches long (the nurse said not to worry about that, since he wouldn't lay flat and she didn't want to pull his legs) and a 15.75" head.

LO is 4 weeks today and by our home scale calculations he is 11.3 lbs today.

[turtletyme]

1 month appt today! Soph is 11 lb 1 oz and 22.5 inches. She was 9 lb 11 and 20.5 in at birth. Everything looks good, she just continues to be a buffalo! 86th percentile for weight and head and 87th for length.

[bendherova]

I have one of the youngest j15 babies, so our appt wasnt until today.

birth: 7lb 12oz, 21.25in

1mo: 11lb 13oz, 23.5in
