Over weight Baby
in Baby
morning ladies,well we took the twins back to the hospital yesterday for there check up as they were 9wks early and now there 11wks (which has gone super fast) anyway they weighed jack and he was 9lb14oz and hes jumped to 10lb15oz on the growth chart he was jusr above the 75th line and hes jumped to just under the 98th line,the doctor said if he carries on he could be obese so he said to try cool boiled water,what is the best way to do this,in between his feeds or when he wants feeding to make him wait a little longer? but on a good note they are so pleased with there progress that they have disharged them both

He's 18lb at 22wks so he is big and he has gone up nearly 2 centiles. But he is happy and healthy.
They are still really young and if they are hungry feed them. It will settle down and as soon as they start moving the weight and chubbiness will fall off him.
Do whatever you feel comfortable with but honestly I wouldn't worry about it. Suz x

Weight gain slows down when weaning and when they become active, also you know if he's poorly it wont matter if he doesn't et so well and doesn't put on much weight.
It's great they're both doing so well.

we had him weighed beg of feb n he was 23lb 7oz
i wouldn't worry tbh, if he's happy & active then he's gna be burning off more food as well as having the growth spurts
