My baby is almost 8 months old, and she weighs 20 pounds. But she's in the 95th percentile, so most babies that age are lighter.
Remember, there's an average weight for babies, but there's no NORMAL weight for babies.

Your baby's weight is going to be based on what percentile s/he has been in. As long as it is proportional to the rest of his/her body, it is OK. But anyhow, the national averages for the 50th percentile are:
7 months is 16.75 pounds
8 months is 17.75 pounds

fiftieth percentile for an 8 month previous boy is approximately 20 kilos. yet ... that would not advise that he's 'meant to' weigh 20 kilos. It basically skill that 0.5 of all infants are greater desirable, and 0.5 are smaller. The 'widespread' variety for a splash one this age is everywhere from approximately 15 kilos to twenty-5 kilos. infants do no longer benefit weight gradually, so an occassional low benefit isn't reason for subject. (And is a stable reason to no longer weigh your infant greater desirable than as quickly as each couple of months. usual weighings have a tendency to make you loopy.) 17 kilos is concerning to the twentieth percentile for 7 months so, if he keeps to stay together with his curve he''ll probable weigh around 19 kilos at his upcoming examine-up. yet he could be slightly heavier, or lighter. you mustn't be giving him cows milk 'to take care of him.' he's a techniques too youthful for any cows milk, beyong the occassional ounce or 2 blended with cereal or cooked into ingredients. in case you're truly worried approximately your milk grant and experience the ought to supplment, he needs formulation, no longer widespread milk. yet i could be specializing in encouraging him to nurse greater often earlier resorting to formulation. And refer to the well being care expert approximately his 'feeling poorly.' that's impossible to invest if there's a difficulty or no longer, yet while there's a difficulty, it needs to be solved. If there is an underlying ailment, as quickly as you get it taken care of, his urge for nutrition ought to strengthen and he will nurse greater often and consume greater desirable. OTOH, if he's basically meant to be a petite infant ... have faith that he's transforming into as he's meant to.

I have three boys eight, five, and two. My boys all
weighed nine pounds or more when they were born.
I am trying to remember... I think they all weighed at
least twenty pounds when they were 7 or 8 months old.
