Should I stop worrying and be happy?

Question

My son had his 1 month appt. he was born weighing in 5lbs 5oz he had to be in the NICU. I worry a lot and my anxiety gets the best of me. Well today at his appt his weight was at 6lbs 13oz. Their very happy and very satisfied with his weight and height, especially him being ebf. I feel like he should be weighting in at least 7lbs 5oz or closer to that 😣

Answer

They want to see a 1 lb gained a month. So for the fact your LO has gained more than that you should be happy too.

Answer

With my preemie, they wanted him to gain 0.5-2 oz per day but as long as he didn’t slip backwards they were happy.  He was slow going for the first month but then shot up like crazy after that.  If the doctor is happy, I wouldn’t be concerned.  Is baby or was she ever on high calorie fortifiers?  We did 4 bottles a day of fortified breastmilk until after a month 
You can see how he puttered along low on the growth chart and then suddenly shot up but now has stuck along the same curve again 
This is for his adjusted age.  He was only 5th% adjusted age birth, 10th% yet at a month old, and now at 4 months, 95th%

Answer

No that sounds perfect momma !!!
