wow good job mommy. i am sure the pediatrician has told you everything is alright. my daughter is like 16 lbs and she is almost 6 months old. do not worry if the doctor says its alright. its a good thing that your baby is able to eat well. some people can not get thier kids to eat that well. thank god that she is healthy. take care.

I'm no expert, but I can say that it must be normal. I guess it depends on the child and the family genes... My son was born on 2/25/06 10lbs 7oz. He's now 3 months old and weighs in at 19lbs 6oz. He eats a 7oz bottle now with 3tbls of cereal in it. At bed time he will take an 8oz bottle with 3 tbls of cereal. He's been on cereal since he was 3 weeks old. He has Reflux. The cereal really does make a difference. He sleeps from 9:30pm to 8:15am without waking. He's been doing that since he was 2 months old.
Don't worry about it! Your child is Perfect!!!!! :)

This is completely normal my 4 mth old weighed 14 lbs at his 2 month check and the doc said he was completely fine, that he wasn't over weight just a big baby. Once the child starts crawling, walking they will shed some of their baby weight. Also it is normal for a child to gain weight rapidly after they are born. My son weighed 9lbs when he was born and 5 lbs in 2 months also.

An average well-nourished baby girl born at 6 lb. 7 oz. (2.9 kilos) would weigh about 10 lb. 5 oz. (4.7 kilos) at 9 weeks old (see sources section below). Or, to put it another way, she has moved from around the 25th percentile in weight at birth to just over the 50th percentile. But there is a lot of variation between babies. If you want to know if this is normal for *your* baby, talk to your doctor.

Both my boys grew VERY fast. I have an 11 month old who now weighs 26 lb. His older brother (27 months now) was the same way, although once he hit about 18 months, his growth slowed down considerably. For a while there, they were both off the growth charts. Very healthy boys, just big! They were big at birth though...8 lb. 4 oz. and 8 lb. 11 oz., respectively.

Yes! My baby boy weighed 7 lbs 10 ozs and by 4 months was 16 pounds. You have no need to worry if all your giving her is formula or the breast.

Well Done! The baby is growing splendidly. Do not worry just keep an eye on the baby.
Some times babies grow faslty in there early months. But after some months stop doing this.
This is a normal situation being going. and if it happens regulary that the baby finds its weights increasing then it's O.K.
But if it stops then it is not good situation.
With hope that your baby will do best i pray God bless her.

Yes, that sounds normal. My son weighed 9lbs at birth, at 2 months he weiged 13lbs 4 oz. She's just a sweet little healthy baby girl.

Yes!!! Children can be totally different. That is exactly how my son was. He has always been in the 95 percentile for weight his whole life. And then his little sister has always been in the 5 percentile for weight. So, every child is different, but I wouldn't worry at all about her weight, that sounds pretty normal to me. Good luck!
