My son, Bentley, was born August 8th 2011. He was 7lbs 6ozs and 21"

At his 4 month check up in December he was 19lbs 26"

He was in the 98th percentile in size... He's a big boy.



I go for his 6 month visit soon and will find out how much he's grown since December, can't wait!!

I'm not sure how he's grown so quickly. He's still on strictly breastmilk, which I express so I can see how many oz he's eating... A typical day for him is an 8oz bottle about 7 times a day.



I*** know people come in all different shapes and sizes, so a healthy baby is more important than the number on the scale, but I was curious on how other babies his age were doing, and I'm open to any advice or suggestions!!!

My daughter was born August 22, she was 7 lbs. 5.4 oz. At her 4 month check up her weight was just barely over 9 lbs. If she doesn't weigh at least 14 lbs. at her 5 month check up she goes on a formula for premature babies. Although she was not a small baby at birth and she was born on her due date.

Wow my daughter sounds so small! She was born Aug 12 at 9 lbs, 20.5 in and was 15 lbs 5 oz last week at 5 1/2 months. She is still strictly breastfed, but will start solids at 6 months. Of course my 3 year old was 8 lbs 6 oz, 21 in at birth and was only 18 lbs at one year and is only 30 lbs now, so I seem to have big babies that turn into tiny toddlers. :)

My daughter Prestyn was born on August 31 2011. She was 9lbs 9oz at birth. At her 4 month check up she weighed 15lbs 2oz and I was told that is the 95th percentile. I started her on rice cereal two days ago in hopes of helping her sleep through the night as she used to but recently started getting up again around 3:30am for a feed.

My son, Matthew, was born August 24th at 6lbs 10.5oz and 20". At his 2 month visit, he was 9lbs 9.5oz and 21 3/4". On his 4 month visit, he had jumped to 15lbs 5 oz and 25.5". He had been eating 6oz bottles about 7 to 8 times a day until I went back to work, then we have begun to incorporate solids. Now he's eating 6 oz bottles about 5 times a day plus oatmeal and apples for snacks. I'm curious to see how big he is because after the first 2 times with solids, he has been eating the entire tub of food :)

My son was born august 2nd 8lbs 3oz. 21 1/2 inches

at his 4 month check up he was 17lbs 27" Since i started feeding him solids he drinks less milk. He has his 6 month checkup in 2 weeks. When are you starting solids? that will fill him up more so he drinks less milk.

Not sure how helpful this will be as I'm from Australia and we go by Kilo's not Pound's - but here goes...



My son was born on the 22nd of August at 3.540kg and at his 4month checkup he was 7kg exactly so he's growing pretty quickly. He eats up to 6 bottles a day at 200ml each. Currently he's about 3kg away from my 2yo's weight of 10kg!



Your bub will tell you want they wanna eat and how much - there is no "perfect" size, weight or height - your child will grow differently regardless. The best thing you can do is give them a healthy diet and keep them active.

Goodluck Honey!
