Weight gain?

Question

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing/experienced this. My LO is 8 months old, she’s BF and nurses about 6 times a day and she eat solids up to 3 times a day. She’s always on the go, from the moment she wakes up until she’s asleep. She’s crawling, sitting up by herself, pulling up on things, walking along furniture, standing for a couple seconds at a time. She’s super happy, except for diaper changes and when it’s time to go to sleep. This morning I weighed her just out of curiosity and it seems that she’s not gained any weight since her 6 month appointment in February. I haven’t weighed her since then because our scale and the doctors is very different, which also makes me worry because I can’t remember if ours registers more or less than theirs. She’s grown out of clothes since that appointment, so I know she’s growing but it just worries me that it seems she isn’t gaining weight? For reference at her 6 month appointment she was 17 lb 10 oz and the 75th percentile for her weight, and 26.75 inches and 70th percentile for height. According to my scale she only weighed 17 lbs 8.5 oz today. I don’t know how long she is now but all of her 6 month pants come up to her knees 😂

Answer

I would assume the scale is off if she’s outgrowing clothes. If she’s eating, and happy I would absolutely not worry but you can always take her in just to ease your mind. Babies do slow down after 6 months as well

Answer

Weight gain significantly slows down after 6 months so I wouldn’t worry my daughter is also very active and eats about the same as your daughter and she’s the same weight as her 6 month apt but getting longer for sure

Answer

My girl hasn’t really gained any weight since 5 months. But she’s gotten longer and slimmed out. Once they start eating solids and moving Around and burning mor calories their weight gain really slows down.
