Question

My son is 4 months old he will be 5 months on the 3rd he is only a little above 14 lbs i feel like he is so small for his age I see other babies his age and they are a lot bigger he drinks about 4/5 8oz bottles a day.

Answer

My baby is 4 months, (5 months on the 8th) and he’s also 14lbs 8oz. Just because your baby is smaller to other babies doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Every baby is different and they grow at their own pace. My daughter at this time was around 11-12lbs at 4 months. She’s still just a small thing and she’s 5 years old now. Don’t compare your baby to others.

Answer

We don't have a scale at home but ours is about that old and about that size. He eats a ton, produces plenty of dirty diapers, and looks healthy though. His doctors and the WIC ladies say he's growing really well and he's healthy.

Answer

My daughter was the same at her 4 month check up. Doctor wasn't concerned. I think that's still 75 percentile or around there. I wouldn't be worried. As long as baby is eating and having soiled diapers you're good.

Answer

My baby is 4 months old and is 14 pounds 5 ounces. Pediatrician said she was in the 50% tile for weight. I think we are all used to seeing chubby babies that we think they should weigh more. As long as your little one is growing and pediatrician isn’t worried about weight I wouldn’t be either. It took us a long time to gain our weight back we lost after birth. Try not to stress momma!!

Answer

Baby girl was 13 lbs flat at her 4 month appointment last week. (She was born at 39 weeks at 5lbs14oz)
She’s in the 24th percentile now and the dr says she’s growing right on track. No worries as long as she’s having wet and poopy diapers. 
She breastfeeds about 6-7 times a day and when she does drink a bottle it’s between 4-5 oz. 
I don’t think have anything to worry about!! Don’t worry mama, all babies are different! You’re doing a great job!!!
