3 month old weight
How much did LO weight at 3months?
My LO was born 8lb 3ounces 21.5 inches. Will be 3 months on the 18th
Now is 11lbs and 24 inches long. He is lean and tall.
I know I shouldnt compare babies b.c they are all different but I find myself always worrying about something being a 1st time mom.

As long as the Dr isnt worried I wouldn't.
My DS has always been in the 25-50% and at his 9m visit he dropped to the 10th %. Dr didnt care because my DS started to walk and crawl so he had a burst of activity that would cause his weight to not gain as before.
Always just listen to your Dr....each kid is built different. My dr told me they just like to see steady growth.

Re: 3 month old weight
He was 9.5 at 5 weeks,
10.8 at 9 weeks and 3 days and he is 11pounds and will be 13 weeks tomorrow.
Is that considered steady?

DD was 11-6 at 3 months which put her at the 28th percentile for girls. I would ask your Dr. his percentiles. As long as they are staying fairly consistent then he's fine. Most offices will give you a print out of DC's weights and percentiles.

Re: 3 month old weight
My DD has gained ONE pound a month ...she started as a peanut (6 lbs) and at 10 months is only 16 lbs! My dr is not concerned bec she is growing and is consistent..even if it is on the bottom of the growth chart!
As long as you LO is not losing or gaining inconsistently, my dr told me that there isn't anything to worry about!
ETA: to ans your question..she was 9 lbs at 3 months old

You have to look at the growth charts. As long as they are near the same % then I wouldn't worry.

Here's the chart I printed out...
http://0.tqn.com/d/pediatrics/1/0/O/1/boysbirthmed.gif
You really cant get an accurate.read on the individual curve your DS is going to follow until 6 months or so. Some gain faster, some slower. Girls have a different chart then boys. Also, don't be concerned if your DS is "small" as long as he is eating, thriving and gaining he's fine.

Re: 3 month old weight
not sure, my dd is 12 weeks tomorrow but goes for her 3 month check up next week. At 2 months she weighed 12lbs 3oz. Im guessing shes close to 14lbs. She has been gaining 2 lbs per month so far. She was in the 75th percentile all around at 2 months.

Re: 3 month old weight
If dr isn't worried than u shouldn't be either. DD was 8.2 when born & gained back her birth weight in 1 week. She is almost 6mos & at her 5 month checkup was only 12 lbs 6oz. She is currently wearing 3-6 months clothes here & there & also still wearing 0-3 months in some stuff. She is a little peanut but I was the same when I was a baby. Everybody/every baby is diff & just like people r all diff shapes/sizes so r little ones. I am ok with DD being small (even tho I'm bfing) bc I know she doesn't really eat that much/a lot per feeding (most of the time doesn't want 2nd boob when I offer it) and I know she is contentbc in btwn feedings she is happy & playful & she also STTN... If she was hungry/not growing enough I feel like that wouldn't be the case.
Bottom line: every baby is diff, I wouldn't worry

Re: 3 month old weight
As long as your little one is gaining and your dr is not concerned, I wouldnt worry.
One of my twins is long and lean and one is slightly shorter and plump.
