How often do you weigh your baby? And when did you stop?

[LadyOfWaffle]

I cannot remember , but I think I weighed DS1 weekly for ages but it just isn't realistic with DS2. DH works nights and either has to stay up then take us, or wake very early and take us. I cannot walk to the nearest as I will have to take DS1. TBH I am not fussed as DS can't eat more as he is demand fed and I have no concerns about him, but I don't want to not go if I really sshould.

Baby one every week, baby two about twice, baby three not at all. Got more confident and she is a bonny plump thing so didn't think it was necessary.

PFB, every week without fail (although to be fair, the HV didn't exactly tell me it was a volentry thing, more a 'get your arse down there every week' thing)

DS2, (nearly 2yo) he's been weighed with all of his jabs, so 5/6 times-ish maybe.

I stopped going when they started getting at me about my daughter's weight (when she was about 8 months). Before that I went about once every other week for the first couple of months and once a month for the next few.

I never bothered (obviously apart from when he was born), he always looked about "right". I know he is a heavy little bugger now, as my shoulders can attest.

DD (pfb) every fortnight, then every month, now every 6 weeks ish. And that's only because I'm nosey and have so many clothes waiting for her to grow into them that I follow the weights on the labels obsessively!

Her weight gain is dropping off (nearly 9 mo) and they did raise their eyebrows a bit last time. If they say anything next time then it's bye bye from me!

[PortAndLemon]

PFB weekly for a couple of months (he had whooping cough and didn't gain for ages so I was concerned about his weight), then monthly until about 4/5 months, then at 8 month check and not since.

NSB, not at all since community midwife weighed her at 15 days old before discharging us. She's six months now and on the chunky I've never been concerned about her weight.side so

dd went every week for ages until her weight gain slowed at 3-4 months and the HV told me my bm wasn't filling her and i should formula feed her, never went back.
infact dc2 is due anytime now and we were at the clinic for the mmr a couple of weeks ago and i saw my hv and she was rather off with me.

ds2 was last weighed when he was about 6 weks old I think.
he is now nearly a year and has seen no health professionals in that time.

Ds1 was weighed every week or fortnight until he was about 9 months old. mainly for something to do and for some adult contact.

Ds2 was weighed at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and, erm, that's it (nearly 8 months old now). Will take him at 9 months (probably) to check he has reached 9kilos before moving him into a forward-facing carseat. (Pretty sure he's already over 9 kilos though).
