3 month old doubled his birth weight

[darby4]

Hi all
Just panicking as my 13 week old has doubled his birth weight! He was born at 7lbs and now weighs 14.1 lbs
Is this normal? He's breastfed and I'm wondering if I'm feeding him too much. He won't take a dummy so every time he fusses the only was to calm him is to feed. Lots of people are calling him a "big boy" "chunky boy" muffin etc but now that he's been weighed I'm wondering if I'm over feeding him and if he really is out of the norm 😳

You can't overfeed a bf baby. Congratulations on your chunk!!
My ds was 9'3 born and continued as such!! At 3 he was tall but average weight. As an adult he is a fit boxer...

He would vomit if overfed! Is he following his centile line vaguely? I really wouldn't worry, my BF daughter fed 10 times a night until 16 months, not to mention during the day and including solids, she was healthy, long and strong! Babies are all different.

Mine doubled in just over 3months and was born at 8lb 15oz, he jumped from the 91st centile to the 98th, HV said if he was formula fed they may have suggested changes but that it's great he is doing so well on my milk! Hard not to worry but you are doing great!

Mine more than tripled his, also ebf. Paediatrician said no problem.

24th percentile to 97th.

I thought the rule of thumb was double at 4 months, triple at 1 year. He's not a million miles off that.

My second baby doubled his birth weight by 12 weeks. Also exclusively breastfed. Jumped from the 25th centile at birth to near the 90th.

His weight gain has since slowed and he's now back down to around the 25th centile. It's all totally normal. You can't over feed a breastfed baby.

He sounds perfect op. By any chance are you smaller than average and DP taller?
DS1 was the same. He went from being perfectly average to just over 91st percentile in the first three months. The HV suggested it was normal with eventually tall babies born to petite mums. He was BF too and always hungry.
Ds is 16 now and well over 6ft 2 which DH is.

My EBF 9 week old was born 7lb3 and is now over 15lb!? Doctor says it's fine so we are going with it.

One of my best mate’s daughters was 28lbs on when she turned 6 months old. (She’s always been very long/tall.). She looked HUGE compared to the other babies in the group. By the time they were 2 you couldn’t tell.

DD went from the 25th centile at birth to the 98th. She put on 1lb on normal weeks and 2lb during growth spurts. She settled on the 98th, slimmed down in toddlerhood, spent her childhood taller and thinner than average and is now a perfectly normal sized 15 year old.

My baby is exclusively breastfed, she was small for gestational age and was an induction for that at 38weeks, 5lb 15 Oz/2.7kg at birth. She was back to birthweight by day 8 and by her 2 week check at 17 days old she was 1lb over her birth weight.
I weighed her on my scales at home yesterday by weighing myself first and then the two of I
Us and she's put up the guts of another half pound in 3 days??
I breastfeed her on demand which ends up being about every 3-4hours and she has plenty of wet and dirty nappies. I always believed you can't overfeed a breastfed baby but is this rapid weight gain ok? Maybe she is just catching up on herself because of low birthweight and will even out?

Sorry wrong place
