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.

32weeks at 3lb 10oz ... was told this was a good weight :) xx

My little boy was born at 37 weeks and was 5lb 3oz he was 12lb 13oz at 6 months 17lb 8oz at 12 months and now at 14 months he his 17lb 3oz

I can't remember my exact weight but I was under 4lb (was a twin and twin didn't survive)
I was 5ft6 age 12 and now I'm just under 5'11

My little man as 28 weeks and 2lb 10oz xxx

Dd1 was 4lb5oz at 34 weeks but so tiny . Shes now an adult and whilst her 4 brothers are well over 6 foot she is still tiny about 5 foot and an adult . Its never bothered her so i wouldnt worry :) the best things come in small packages

My lil girl was 5lbs 2oz at 34+5 weeks (which i know is a great weight!)

at 3 months she now weighs 11lbs 3oz x

She is on aptamil not NP2 x

DS was 3lbs2 at birth, 30+2. He's six months next week and weighs 15lbs . On breast milk from day 3 and still fully breastfed.

DS born at 35+4 weighing 5lbs 3 at 6 months he was 16lbs - havnt got to a year yet

DS was born at 31+5 weighing 4lbs 11.5oz, and at 6 months weighed about 15lb (EBF)
(now 7.5 months)

to cheer the premmie parents up

I was born 39 years ago 1974 my mum was very ill with pre eclampsia told she was going to give birth to a baby who had died - I was born at 24 weeks weighing 1lb 12 oz alive, totally not expected to be alive.

The staff had to go up to London hospitals to get equipment

Anyway my parents and me are fine,and my son has turned 1, after IVF pregnancy,and losing 3 babies

ds1 37 weeks, 5lb 2
ds2 36 weeks 5lb 15
ds3 32 weeks 3lb 8
dd1 35 weeks 5lb 6
dd2 34 weeks 4lb 11

oldest is 14 and a half now, still quite small but not too bad :) youngest is 8 and also small for her age but dd1 is massive for her age and the two boys are average.

Twin 1- 28wks, 2lb 4

Twin 2- 28wks (obviously), 2lb 1

Twin 1 - 34 weeks & 5lb7

Twin 2 - 34 weeks & 6lb1

DS born at 26 +2 weeks weighed 2lbs 8oz & 26 cm.

DD was born at 34 weeks exactly, weighed 4lb 15 oz
lost weight in hospital but then gained when we got her home
is now 15 weeks old/9 weeks adjusted and weighs over 12 lb
she is EBF

Dd 36 weeks 8lb I remember she was 12lb at 12 weeks

Ds 35 weeks 7lb 13 he was only 9lb at his six week check though

DS, 36 weeks 7lb 7oz, EBF. Both his sisters were term and large. He fed badly initially and lost 10% of his body weight in the first three days, and took a month to regain his birth weight. But by 4 months he was on the fiftieth percentile uncorrected. EBF but he's my third and the first where I've not had oversupply issues, he does feed much more than the girls did.
