Leah was 4.34kg (9lb 9ish)

Leah was born 7lb 11oz. All babies grow differently so dont worry too much. As long as he is putting on weight and is healthy I dont think there is any course for consern.

Nathan was 12lb 8oz at 6 weeks but he was 9lb 5 oz born. I really don't think it matters what a weight a baby was when they were born though. My eldest was 6lb 11oz born and she piled the weight on and was above the 99th centile in a few months. My 2nd was heavier born but hardly gained any weight. and is just ment to be tiny.

Hi Jake was 7lb 2oz born and at 6 weeks he was 9lb 15oz. I don't think that you can really compare weights though because all babies grow at different rates. Jake is nearly 7 months old now and only weighs 15lb 1oz but I think he is just going to be small (he is fairly long though). If your HV was worried about his weight then I'm sure she would say something. I don't think you have anything to worry about anyway as I'm sure his weight gain will slow down soon.

Lydia was 10lbs 10oz at birth.

Then she lost a bit of weight, and it took her a full month before she managed to regain her birth weight!

I don't have a figure for 6 weeks, but when she was 8 and a half weeks she was 12lbs 13oz.

My LO was formulas fed and whackecon a good pound and a half each week so grew very quick, think he was around 13 pounds 6 weeks after birth, massive! but it did slow down eventually, but he never lost any birth weight which i was proud of.

Austin was 8lb 6oz at birth, we last had him weighed at 9 weeks and he was 11lb 9oz. He's breastfed, I don't know if that makes a difference to weight gain?
