How much weight does/did your baby gain each week?

edited February 2012 in Babies Health
From everything I've read, babies should gain on average 4-8oz per week, my little man however doesn't seem to agree & is quite literally piling on the pounds, did anyone else's baby do this? & if they did, did the weight gain start to slow down?

His weight so far :

Birth - 8lb 12oz
Day 3 - 7lb 10oz (lost loads as struggled to latch on)
Day 5 - 7lb 15oz
Day 7 - 8lb 2oz
Day 13 - 9lb 6oz
Day 18 - 9lb 15oz
Day 26 - 11lb 3oz

I'm still breastfeeding so am pleased he is gaining weight but if he carries on like this he's going to be huge!

  • My daughter gained a lot fast too. She was 6 lbs at birth and now at 6.5 months she's 19 lbs! Her Dr doesn't seem concerned, so neither am I :)
