Guest guest Posted March 19, 1999 Report Share Posted March 19, 1999 , Good job! Sounds like you have a good pedi. Wendi 2 month appt. Bart had his 2 month appt today. His stats are: Birth: 8 lbs 14.5 oz 20 inches head: 14 inches 2 month: 12 lbs 12 oz 24 inches head: 16 inches He's gained nearly 4 lbs on mommy milk! I'm so proud. I think he's going to be tall. Everything else was fine except the ped thought he heard a small heart murmur. He wasn't too concerned and said he'd check again next time at 4 months. I was pleased that he said solids no earlier than 6 months, howevever he did recommend a little rice cereal at 4-5 months for the iron. I just nodded, but I doubt I'll do that. We decided not to get any shots this time. He gave us the " party line " , but told us it was ultimately up to us. I'm glad he didn't try to pressure us. mom to Bart 1/22/99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start a new hobby.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 Kristi, I know what you mean about having a small baby. Abby was 7lb 14oz at birth but at her 2 month check up was only 9lbs. And at her 4mo check up was only 12lbs She is just know in size 2 diapers. Everyone comments on her petite stature. I was worried about her for awhile. I always have really large babies but the ped said she was fine just small. She goes for her 6mos appt in about 2 weeks so we will see if she has gained alot. I guess she is probably about 15 lbs now. a mom to abby 9/24 and 3 others Klh78@... wrote: > From: Klh78@... > > > Your son is bigger than my daughter and he is younger than her.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 Kristi, My first son was 5 lbs when he was born and 19 1/2 inches too. People would always ask me if he was a preemie...which offically, he was. It is so difficult not to compare children's weights, crawling times, etc. Just remember they are so unique and will progress at their own rate.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 I have now had both kind of babies and my back really liked the lighter one. My son is causing me to get frequent chiropractic work. Wendi Re: 2 month appt. Kristi, I know what you mean about having a small baby. Abby was 7lb 14oz at birth but at her 2 month check up was only 9lbs. And at her 4mo check up was only 12lbs She is just know in size 2 diapers. Everyone comments on her petite stature.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 I know what you mean. My son was 6 lbs 3 oz at birth. I don't remember all his other appoinments but at 15 months he was only 20 lbs 8 oz. Everyone says how small he is. He is 17 months now, not sure how much he has gained but he still fits all his 12 month clothes, 18 month are huge on him. Doc got me all worried but they when my mom and I looked back at me and my brothers and sisters we were all small babies. Now my Angel was 7 lbs 11 oz at birth, she has her two week check Mon so we will see how she is growing. But all babies grow at different rates. My cousin has a baby was 7 lbs something at birth and was 20 lbs by 6 months!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 Kristi, Yes, healthy babies come in all shapes and sizes. Yesterday in the store we saw a baby (a girl) who was 4.5 months old and wasn't much bigger than Bart. Today on our walk we saw a little baby who couldn't have been older than 1 week. She seemed a lot smaller than Bart ever was. The funny thing is, I was a big baby, but am a naturally slender (small boned) adult. go figure! Actually it looks like Kaitlyn and Bart have gained similar amounts in almost the same amount of time - nearly 4 lbs and nearly 4 inches...they just started out different! --- Klh78@... wrote: > From: Klh78@... > > > Your son is bigger than my daughter and he > is younger than her.
