I know all babies are different...
but what did your lo's weigh at around 8weeks (or even now) Charlie is 8 weeks today and as of last tues he weighed 12lb13, he was 7lb12 when born. I feel like he looks older than 8weeks if that makes sense, he doesn't look fat but is long and tbh the hv did seem a little concerned with his weight . He was taking around 7-8 oz but i put this down to a growth spurt as he now settles at about 5oz. Im not too worried as I think he's perfect the way he is (obviously im biased (sp?) tho) but i just wondered what you ladies thought? xx

My hv is concerned she has dropped 4 centiles but i don't think she was meant to be that big in the first place! She is fully bf, tall and not skinny. She looks perfect to me!
Charlie sounds like he is doing perfectly! You would also expect boys to weigh more than girls. Your right not to worry hun, x
Gabe was about 13lb at 8 weeks (9lb 1 at birth).
But now at 8 months he is a little over 20lb which is only a bit bigger than 'average' and no one comments on his size anymore. He is incredibly long and is outgrowing his pushchair that is supposed to be up to 3 years! His head goes over the top!
My friends LO is 5 months old and weighs 19lb even though she was a teeny 6lb at birth but she looks perfectly healthy and is just a 'solid' built girl is well ahead with milestones and has 6 teeth so is just growing quick i reckon
