Normal weight for baby?

Question

My baby was born 7lbs 3oz she weighed 9lbs at her 2m check up is this normal?? Only gaining two pounds in two months? I’m feeding her 3oz now & she’s spitting it all up i go back in two weeks for another weigh in

Answer

Could be acid reflux. Both my daughters had it. However, just like another person said, that doesn’t seem like a lot of spit up and it always looks like more than it is. Babies spit up. Some more than others. All three of my babies spit up and my first would literally spit up half her bottles, which is a lot and not normal. You also have to take in account how much weight your baby lost while in the hospital, so it may be more than 2 pounds that she gained, which would be in the normal range.

Answer

The weight gain sounds normal and that doesn’t look like a lot of spit up. Usually when it happens it’s only a mouth full and it looks like way more than it actually is

Answer

This is totally normal, my baby girl didn't gain any weight for 6 weeks when she was first born. She turns 2 years old in 7 days and weighs 21lbs. She gains upto 3oz a month and is small for her age still fitting into 6-9 month clothes. She's fit and healthy so no reason for her low weight or small stature. She was tiny when she was born. She's my little doll and my world.

This is her brother. He was born 8lbs 1.5oz he turns 3 in 24 days and weighs 24lbs on the nose and is still in 18-24 month clothing. Again there isn't anything wrong with him health wise he's just small. They both suffered from dairy allergy when they were newborn, my son has outgrown it but my daughter still suffers. My daughter suffered from spit up a lot when younger but it suddenly stopped my son was terribly sick as a baby but again he's ok now but they never lost any weight. They gain weight slowly. It sounds like your daughter is gaining weight perfectly fine.
