Hello everyone
Just seeking a bit of reassurance.
My DD is 16 weeks old and turns four months old next week. She was weighed yesterday and was only 5.700kg, or 12lb 9oz. I would have expected her to be at least 6kg or 13lb by now, but she seems to be putting on weight extremely slowly.
She feeds and sleeps fine and seems happy enough, but I'm worried that she has slipped from being on the 25th percentile for weight all the way from birth to the 9th this week. She was born 7lb 1.5oz.
A friend has a baby girl who was born 7lb 5oz a week later than my DD. She is combination fed but is now 16lb! My DD is nearly on an exclusive breastmilk diet (formula only given on the very rare occasion when milk supply is low).
Is 12lb 9oz normal for a 16 week old girl?
