At 8 months?

Question

I know that all babies are not alike and their growth and development varies.
How much did your baby weigh when he /she was 8 months old ?

Answer 1

My first was slightly over 20 pounds and the second was just under 17. They both were/are tall for their age and breast fed exclusively at 8 months. That said, my husband and I are both six feet tall.

I think the important thing to remember is that your baby needs to eat healthy food and get enough nourishment. I do know some people give 8 month old babies cheetos and other junk as finger foods and that, in my opinion, is just child abuse.

Other than that, staying on the breast, going with formula or starting solids is something between parent and child. You have to watch your child for signs of hunger and signs that they have had enough. Babies are excellent communicators if you pay attention to their mouths and hands.

Learning that skill is a far more useful indication of whether they are hungry or full than the scales.
