Weight?

[Lulabell]

Ok, been getting Joshua weighed and it seems like he isn't putting much on? Below are his weights at each week I've got him weighed. First few weeks are ok, but 7 weeks onwards doesn't seem much? I'm EBF. He feeds 6 or 7 times a day. Sleeps from 8sh to 5ish. Plenty of wet and poopy nappies. Seems a happy chappy with plenty of smiles. Always alert when awake. HV wernt concerned. Anyone else's LOs like this?

3 weeks + 5 days - 9lb 15oz
4 weeks + 5 days - 10lb 2oz
6 weeks + 5days - 10lb 15ox
7 weeks + 5 days - 12lb 2.5oz
11 weeks + 5 days - 12lb 10oz
13 weeks + 5 days - 12lb 13.5oz

I was told to only weigh once a month so you get a representation of the actual gain and babies weight gain goes up and down iykwim?

But still over 6 weeks he only gained 11oz? They have asked me to come in and get him weighed in another two weeks.x

got alyssa weighed today and at 6 weeks 4 days she is 12lb 7oz and was 10lb 14oz at birth, lost 8% then went up after that. as long as there is a gain id not worry, it slows down sometimes and speeds up at others hun x

As long as he's gaining, happy and not dropping the centiles rapidly he sounds to be fine.

All babies gain at different rates. Mine is a chunky monkey but he's happy and feedin every 4 hrs and sleeps 10 to 11 hours a night - they are all different x

He looked to have a good gain between week 6 and 7
