Ds never weighed

My almost 3mo was last weighed at 5 day check. He seems a big boy to me and eats plenty, plenty of wet and soiled nappies everyday. Is there any reason I would need to keep track of his weight at this point?

I did, just for peace of mind really to make sure everything was on track and my son was developing well. I just stood on a scale without him, then stood on a scale with him. Did it 3 times to get an accurate reading. I did it every month when he turned a new 'age' if you get me, then plotted it in his red book.

DC1 was taken to the weighing clinic once a month. DC2 was weighed at birth, at the 5 day check-up and never since. She is now 3 and 3/4. I just forgot 2nd time around and realised it wasn't important!

@DappledThings yes he's my second as well, I think at that point you've got too much to do and realise it's not that important
