My little one has only gained 14oz in over a month. He’s staying on his growth curve and exclusively breastfeeding. His pediatrician doesn’t seem concerned. He said he might just be smaller in weight. But he’s gained two inches in height! Is this normal?

Question

breastfeeding. His pediatrician doesn’t seem concerned. He said he might just be smaller in weight. But he’s gained two inches in height! Is this normal?" /> 
He was 7.15 at birth. Dropped to 7.13 at his two week appointment. He is 8.15 now.

Answer

My Ped told me at that age they should gain essentially an ounce a day, so in a month he should've gained 30oz, almost two pounds.
But if your ped isn't concerned, I wouldn't worry.
