Dylan was 9lb 6oz at birth and at 4 weeks was 11b 10oz! He is fine, just very close to the top of the centile charts for everything. Some babies are big and gain quickly, others are small and gain slowly, but they are all perfectly normal. Dylan is 8 1/2 months and is just going into 12-18 month clothes. He has always been ahead on the age ranges of clothes.
Congrats on your little man xx

Nope, every baby is different. A baby's meant to double their birth weight in the first 3 months anyhow.

Caitlyn was 7lbs 14oz at birth and is now 14lbs 6oz...up until four weeks ago she was putting on nearly a lb a week. Her weight gain has slowed now [as she's refusing her milk

]

So long as he's putting on weight it's all fine

My LO gained 4 lbs in 7 weeks, so he sounds about right to me!

Ours was 6lb9oz at birth, and 12lb2oz at 8 weeks. Hope he didn't inherit the obesity gene on my side of the family
