Baby weight gain - Help!
Hi ladies, need some help!
I just got my lo weighed at a mum and baby group and I didn't have my red book with me. I am at my mums at the moment so can't get to it to see where he now is on his centile chart! I am working my self up into a panic as his weight gain has slowed. I last had him weighed at 7 weeks and he was 9lb 13oz. Due to HV retiring and no replacement (!) there's not been a clinic to have him weighed since. Today, 12 weeks old, he weighed 5.52 kg and have converted that online to 12.2 lbs. I can't find where to get the correct ounce, plus can't find an online centile chart! Before 7 weeks he was putting on nearly 1lb per week! Does weight gain slow down after 7 weeks? He is fed a mixture of breast and bottle and seems perfectly content after feeds so I am certain I am not starving him! ?

5.52kg is 12lb 2oz.
so, he would have put on 37oz's in 5 weeks......
