How much did your prem baby weigh....

[rascal1979]

At birth (and what was the gestation), 6mths and 12mths.

I know you can't compare babies but just curious to see how much weight prem babies put on and if it is at a similar rate to term babies.

My DD weighed 2lb 1oz at birth.
Was born at 30 +6 but small for dates/IUGR.
She's now 11 wks and weighs 4lb 7oz.

25 weeks born, just over a pound
6 months about 9 pounds
12 months about 14 pounds

32+5 and 3lb 3oz for dd. I cant remember her weights after that but she was small until she was 9 months then suddenly went from 3-6 month clothes to 9-12 month ones. She's now nearly two and tall and healthy.

DS born at 35weeks and weighed 5lbs 15ozs. He was bottle fed and weighed 26lbs on his first birthday (although he was actually a little under 11mths old if you backdate) and sitting under the 98th centile. He is still heavy now and it's all muscle, no excess flesh at all.

dd was 5lb 5oz at 37 weeks and is 5 in july but only weighs 24lb. ds was 6lb 8oz 39+6 and at now at 18 months is 22lb both where breast fead and eat the same food and get the same amount of exercise i just think dd was ment to be small.

My friend's DS was born at 27 weeks and was 1lb 13oz, at 6 months is was 12lbs 12oz I think and doing well.

ID twins born at 29 weeks

2lb 9 and 2lb 13. They both weighed about 12lb at 6 months and 18lb at 1 year.

Ds was 34+6, 2lb 12 IUGR. Was weighed two wks ago at 25 wks and was 15lb 9. Only got ebm for 4 wks though before my milk supply dried up, has been on nutriprem ever since.
How is your dd getting on now rascal?

Hi beachbunni - gald to here your LO is doing well.

Babyrascal is good she is still small at 7lb 4oz at 20 wks but developmentally seems to be doing fine and is actually advanced with her headcontrol!

Awh, glad your lo is ok. Remember your name from when you were pregnant as you weren't far behind me. I think esp when you have a prem and IUGR baby so much emphasis is put on weight, when really as long as they're healthy and happy is all that matters. I had a wee nosey at your photos and she is gorgeous. My cousin exclusively bf for the 1st 6 months and her lo was slower to put on weight until he was weaned on food, then he just piled it on. I would have loved to have bf but unfortunately none of my plans turned out the way I wanted them to!

32 weeks & 4lbs

6 months corrected - 17lb 8oz

925 grammes or 2lb half an ounce. 27 weeker.

Ds1 born 35 weeks & 5lb 12oz
6 months 16lb
12 months 21lb 6oz

37 weeks 9lbs 8ozs

36w 12 lbs 2 oz at 6mths 14lb 5oz

37w 12 lbs 8 oz at 6mths 14 bs 5oz at 12mths 17lbs 3oz and now at 2.10 is 16kg and 106cm

All babies develop at their own rate rascal so dont be over concerned. My dd2 is 10mths now and is 16lb 15oz but when you consider she was 12lb 2oz at birth it looks awful. She will find her pace as will your dd.

27+1 (I though +6 but hosp said 1)

2 lb 12 (big!)

I can't remember her weight but she had caught up by a year old.

My son was born at 32 1/2 weighing 3 Ibs 5ozs. He is now 12 and is very well and very intelligent.

The baby unit in Hammersmith Hospital was brilliant! I remember the tears.

It was a difficult time when he was born but God helped us through.

born at 27 weeks and weighed 2lb 8 oz
now 2 weeks old and weighs 2lb 5 oz!

Babyrascal has hit the 0.4th Centile today!
She has put 8oz on in a week and now weighs 10lb 6oz!!

I'm sooo proud of her

34 weeks gestation, 3lb 6 (IUGR)

21 weeks, 13lb 11!

Weight gain was very slow to start, but the last 6 weeks has been putting on nearly 1lb every week!

Baby Rascal is now 36 weeks and is 11lb 5oz. She has dropped off the 0.4th centile again but developmentally doing well.

DS2 30+5, 1.39 kg / 3lb

Weighed on Monday, 7 weeks, gest age 37+5, 2.35 kg / 5lb 3oz. HIs weight gain was very slow at first but since leaving SCBU and their 4hr feeding routine he's bf on demand (and he's very demanding!) and gained 1lb in 2 weeks.

(Am I the only British person who finds it much easier to think in kg than in lb and oz???)
