Posted in Baby Scales - by admin | November 24th, 2010

my son is 3 weeks old and now is eating 4 oz. every 4-5 hours…does that sound right?
he was born 6lbs 10 oz an was 6 2 when we left the hospital at hour last check up he was 74 and yesterday my hubby stood on the scale with out baby then with and according to that he is now 8 lbs.. it is a digital scale so it is pretty accurate.
does this sound right for a 3 week old?

    my daughter was born 7’10 and when we left the hospital she was 7’1 and at her 3 week checkup she was 8’14, so im curious to see what she is tomorrow, at her one month. eek shes a tubber.LOL
    she eats 5-6 oz every 3 – 4 hours. i thought she was overfed but i called the doc. and she said thats perfectly normal aslong as she doesnt puke it all up after, then she isnt filling herself up to much!!

    i think your baby is a perfect weight!
    congrats btw!!!:)

    I’m a new mom too. My baby is 4 months old though now! It sounds fine to me every baby grows at his or her own rate so don’t worry about it. Hes seems healthy!

    As long as he is eating and gaining..don’t worry! It sounds good to me. =) My daughter was 7.6lbs at birth and last week weighed 9.2lbs..she is more now! I can feel it..I swear I am making cream this time..LOL

    They do grow SO fast!!! This is my 3rd and I am just eating every little thing up..even the cranky moments..lol

    EDIT: mine is 3.5 weeks..oops!

    My baby is 3 weeks tomorrow and he was born 5’12. At our 2 week appointment he weighed 6’4. He is now eating 4 ounces every 3 hours.
