Chunky monkey
Hi ladies,
How are we all and how are our little uns?
Well I had a 3/4 month review with HV today and she talked about weaning and teething. All pretty straight forward and then she weighed him!!!
Well my lovely monkey has put on 1lb in two weeks!!! I knew he was a hungry boy and loves his food but really. He is long too so is outgrowing his clothes at a rapid rate! Born he was 6lb 13oz and now is 14lb 5oz.
No wonder my arms ache!!!
So proud

I think our babies were born on the same day? (27/8)and Flo was 13lb11oz 3 weeks ago so probably quite similar to Oliver now. She was nearly 9lb at birth so he's doing really well.
Just a quick questions while I think of it. Which bottles do you use and which teat flow size is Oliver on? I'm trying to decide whether to go up to the next size at the moment...
IT's great that you sound so happy xxx
Oliver is one hungry baby. He has 7oz 5 times a day. He currently sleeps 8.30 ish til 5/6ish so has a feed then and then at 9.00, 12.00, 15.00 and 7.30. We use dr brown bottles and went up to size two teats ages ago as he slowed right down. He was quite quick at feeding but has again slowed down as he is too nosey!!! I read somewhere that this is quite normal.
The Hv did suggest that because he is a hungry baby he might need to start weaning a little bit earlier but I am going to try to hold out as much as poss.
HTH.

I laughed at the title of this post as thats what I call my wee boy!! lol
My wee man was 7lbs 13oz when he was born, he was exclusively breastfed for 7 weeks but was too hungry for me to keep up with. At 6 weeks he weighed in at 12lbs 2oz!!!! Weighed him last at 11.5 weeks and he is now 15lbs 4oz!! His 3-6 month clothes are getting snug and he's only 12weeks!!
I'm using avent bottle with a number 2 teat,cant get him to take the number 3 bottle, too fast for him just now.
He eats 6 times a day. 5oz's at 6.30, 10, 1.30, 5 and then a 7oz bottle at 7.30 for bed, he gets another 7oz at 2am also!
Can't get him to take bigger feeds during the day at all so he only last 3.5 hours in between feeds.
hope everyone and their babies are well!

I call Mia chunky monkey too! I stopped bf altogether at 12.5wks and she now has 7oz of hungry baby milk at 9,12,3,6 and 8.30 then sleeps 11-12 hrs.I use Mam bottles and stage 2 teats. She was last weighed at 12wks and was 16lbs 4! She was 9lbs at birth
Had Flo weighed today and she was 15lb10oz at 14.5 weeks so pretty chunky too, although mostly very long. THanks ladies for posting about bottles and ounces. Because I still feed FLo then top her up, I've got no idea how much she gets from me but your posts give me an idea of what she would be having was she fully ff. I just wish she'd take more during the day then stop waking in the night but I just can't force any more down her. May have to give the next stage teats a go...
May be time for a photo update from us all soon, I want to see all these chunky monkeys! X
