Born at 3240g, weighed 2940g at discharge, 51cm tall. At 1 month - 3570g, at 2 months - 4600g, at 3 months - 5700g, at 4 months - 6600g. It's been two weeks now, and she weighs 6660g. I'm feeding her every hour, and she still spits up. How is it possible that her weight isn't increasing? Has anyone else experienced this?
How are you today? Still a bit chaotic.

Normal weight, no need to worry. Mine was around 6500g at 6 months old.

Babies gain weight in spurts, so why constantly weigh your baby and keep feeding them?

Why are you feeding every hour?

Haha, I remember myself 😄 Why isn't she eating, why isn't she gaining weight, why is she like this, why can't she hear. Everything is fine with you. Just don't feed her every hour. Her weight won't go up from that, you'll just fill her stomach.

Oh, we're experiencing the same thing right now, gaining about 100 grams in 2 weeks. Maybe she'll gain a bit more in the second half of the month.

Why feed every hour? Is she asking for it every hour? Her weight gain and overall weight are normal.

We had the same thing. It was in spurts. Everything's fine. We weighed even less than you at that age, even though she was born at 3340g. Now at a year old, she measures 8400g. They said it's within the normal range.

Natalya You're so close! How much did you gain by 5 months? What did your pediatrician say? When did you start solids?

Ekaterina Salina If it's 60 grams in 2 weeks, that's not normal.

That's a great weight for 4 months! Many babies weigh this much at six months.

irina samoylova She's not refusing. I just wonder if she didn't eat enough and that's why she's not gaining weight.

Ekaterina Salina It's okay. Babies gain weight in spurts, and at this age, there aren't usually big gains anymore.
By six months, a baby should have doubled their birth weight. She's 4 months old and already within the normal range, what are you rushing for?

Elena Why are you looking week by week? Weight is checked monthly.

5 months - 6100
6 months - 6600
Such jumps, sometimes too little, sometimes too much.
For the first 2-3 months, we constantly went for check-up weigh-ins. Then our pediatrician changed, and we stopped, as she was already within the normal range, and that was it. Now I don't really worry anymore. At 11 months, she weighed 8600g, and at a year old, 8400g; she lost weight. She's very active now.

Ekaterina Salina Baby is spitting up due to overeating, which is also not normal.

Natalya And what did your pediatrician say? Did they drive you crazy?
Translated automatically. Show original
Natalya
Natalya At first no, then yes. She said I was starving him, lol 😂. So they switched us to formula, and he started gaining weight. He was exclusively breastfed until 7 months. I switched my daughter to formula at 1 month, and she still didn't gain weight well. It must be genetics, although we're not skinny, but not overweight either.

Natalya I'd rather not use formula.
