fourteen pounds


 
 
That's right.  My teeny tiny baby girl (born five weeks early, weighing 4lbs 7.5oz) now weighs in at 14lbs at 5.5 months.  She's gained almost 10lbs and more than tripled her birth weight!

I have to keep reminding myself to compare her only to herself (how much she has gained), and not to other babies, or the norms.  She's still wearing 3 month size clothes and is in the 20-25th percentile for her weight/age, but she was also born close to half the size of the average baby!

    don't worry about it my perfectly healthy baby boy was 15 lbs at 6 mths (he was 7.5 lbs at birth!) my second was 15 lbs at 4 mths... also full term, no real differences just them!
