Weight gain with solids?

Question

We just started solids this week with my 5mo who’s been slower on weight gain, sitting at the 18% mark  for a while even though she’s 87% for height. Over the last 6 days she’s gained 210g, with nothing else in her diet changing. Growth spurt, or is she just taking to solids really well? She’s happy and pooping, but I just wanted to see if anyone else’s babies did this.

Answer

This happened to my first daughter. She took off on the charts when we started solids. The drs weren't concerned

Answer

My first son was always 90+ for height and around 20th for weight. Just tall and skinny. I would guess growth spurt. Until almost 12 months babies primary nutrition source should still be formula or breast milk. Solids are more about learning how to eat at this stage than weight gain.

Answer

My son has been around the 11-12 percent mark since the beginning.its all right until they are gaining consistently.regarding the wt gain-it could be growth spurt
