Big Babies!
I just got back from getting Gabriel weighed, omg he is huge, 10lb 12oz. He isnt even 1 month yet. He was 9lb 1oz at birth and just can't believe it! The HV said hes having a growth spurt and filling out cos hes so long. Has anyone else got a big baby? And should I be concerned about how he is feeding (5oz every 3 hours except during the night when he has been known to go 8 hours).

He was only 6lb13oz at birth then went to 7lb 11oz, 9lb 9oz, 13lb 1oz, 15lb 3oz, 18lb 14oz and last weighed in at 20lb exactly at 20 weeks
(that was two weeks ago and I've been weaning him since so god knows what he's gonna weigh when we go next week!!!)
I really hope he slows down as he is really loving his jumperoo (which is supposed to last til 15months I think) however it says max weight is 25lb so he may not have long left to go in it which will be a shame
He's also grown 18cm since he was born - people mistake him for a much older baby!

Ah well, I would much rather have a big baby than the huge bump I had 4 weeks ago lol
Evie was 8lbs 12.5 at birth and at 3 weeks she was 10lbs 6...was dead chuffed! She doesn't look chubby though, she has dainty little features but I think she must be really long!

people keep telling me Issy is big - at 8+ months old weighed 18 -8, so quite small by comparison!!
as said, chunky legs and little folds are really quite bonny - as long as her chunky legs dont stay that way when she is 21!

Mine was bad enough & my lo only 5lb 14oz at birth, now at 20 weeks she's 13lb so I'm complete opposite to all of you (so hope you don't mind me gatecrashing big baby forum)!!
