is this the right weight?

Question

My 2 month old daughter weighs 11 lbs. She was 6 lbs 9.5oz at birth. Is this how much she should weigh?

Answer 1

that sounds about right. My daughter weighed 6 lb 11 oz at birth and weighed about 10 lbs at her 2 month appointment. There is a LOT of variation in a normal range. Do a Google search and print out a growth chart if you are worried. You can keep track of it for your own records and will notice if something is wrong (a sudden major drop in percentages, under the 5th percentile or over the 95, or a major mismatch in weight and height) and can bring it up to your dr.

Answer 2

There are growth charts that give you an average progression for children. According to the one cited below, a baby weighing just under 7 lbs. at birth should weight about 9.5 lbs. at 2 months.

To echo what others have said, babies vary a lot from the "norm" quite a bit. At your next well-baby check up ask the nurse what they think, or schedule an appointment with a nutritionist.

omg my baby is two months nad one day today. She weighs 12lbs 4 oz. She was 6lbs 8oz at birth..so it sounds like were in the same boat. At her appt today the doc said she is above average for her age. In the 75 percentile. I found a growth chart for girls ( Birth-36 month) I hope this helps
