normal weight gain in infants

On average, infants gain about 1 kilogram per month for the first 3 months, ½ kilogram per month from 3-6 months of age, 1/3 kilogram per month from 6-9 months of age and ¼ kilogram per month from 9-12 months of age. Full term infants double their birth weight by 4 months of age and triple it by 12 months of age.

s appointment Tuesday morning, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced weight loss during extreme heat. Is it normal for very active toddlers to have weight flucuation, or is it more like infants where they gain steadily, just at a slower pace? Thanks so much.

s general health got better and started to gain weight very quickly. But I am worried that the gain in the baby's face is a sign of hypo rather than a healthy growth. We also did thyroid USG at the 42nd day which seemed quite normal. Here are the test results: Age: 50 days TSH: 12.6 uU/ml (lab ref range 1.7-9.1 for 2-20 weeks) and ( 0.7-6.4 for 5mo-2yr) FT4: 1.11 ng/dl (lab ref range 1.1 – 3.0 infants) and (1.6-3.8 newborns) Age: 37 days TSH: 17.

Sorry, just wanted to mention this...you are Canadian right? I am not certain where you are, but check into the clinics and programs at your local Public Health Clinic. Ours here has several on feeding and nutrition, and I find them excellent! Especially for our smaller guys...Good luck!!

I also did some reading and it said that breastfed infants tend to grow faster than formula fed infants in the first couple of months, but then slower than formula fed infants after that, but that this is normal. Make sure you are having a healthy diet, particularly if you are breastfeeding. They say babies should not be introduced to food / solids until about 6 months. Aiden still has a long way to go til then. Be guided by your pediatrician for when to introduce foods to him.

So I'm142lbs and in my 27th week. Is that normal/good to be that weight? I feel as if I shouldn't weigh that much yet.

t take Eglonyl or Zoloft is because it is most likely to cause weight gain and I am already overweight and unhappy about it.

It is well known that vitamin B12 deficiency causes developmental delay and brain atrophy in infants and children. This has been reported in medical journals and texts since the 1960’s. The medical community (pediatricians, neurologists) is not routinely checking children who present with the first concern of developmental delay for B12 deficiency which is problematic and a clinical error.

Was she born premature or the females in the family petite? She is under the normal weight for her age, however, if she has been gaining weight at a steady rate (even if it has been slow) she maybe just small in stature. If not, then she would be underweight. Soy base formula is given to infants so she can have soy milk, soy yogurt, soy ice cream.

My doctors arent concerned ad i have had to change my diet drastically. I think weight gain can really vary. Some people only gain 5 to 10 pounds and most of that is baby! As long as your doctor isnt concerned you are fine. Good luck!

Should I be worried at all that giving him corn syrup may cause weight gain or a metabolic problem? I hear so much about corn syrup in foods possibly being linked to metabolic syndrome.

) the pediatric cardiologist said that he does not need a surgery but the surgent said 80% of chances he will be schedule for surgery when he gain more weight (16 pounds at least) what do think doctor , this contradiction is bothering me and his parents , thank you.

Those usually happen in infants but adults have this especially if they gain weight or are obese. They may be sore from time to time but usually don't have many symptoms. Tell your doctor about it at your last physical as they can have complications of strangulation. This would be happening if it all of a sudden became very painful.

Its really early in your pregnancy to be gaining weight... lots of woman lose weight in the first trimester from nausea and morning sickness, ect... expect to gain more weight into the second trimester but even more so into the third... think of how small everything inside you is still... if you are taking your vitamins, and eating a well balanced diet(as much as can be expected in the first trimester) then dont worry about your weight...

and it is typicall for me to gain/loose water weight of 5 pounds in a week. I have stayed around 157 for the past few months or so - but no real weight gain. I do have a belly bulge though. Is that normal for first pregnancy? How about everyone else?

I wanted to know if its normal not to gain any weight. Im 20 weeks and I havent gained any weight. My stomach just gets bigger.

Later, you may develop signs and symptoms of underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), which may include unexplained weight gain, hoarse voice, constipation, puffy face, fatigue and increased sensitivity to cold. A diagnosis of hypothyroidism can be confirmed with blood tests. Treatment may include thyroid replacement hormone. In many cases, thyroid function returns to normal, which may occur in as little as a month or take up to several years.

This happened to me up until now! I wasn't all the hungry, and could never put weight on. I didn't have bad morning sickness either so it wasn't that. My obgyn said it's pretty normal to lose weight before you gain it. I am currently 32 weeks and have put on weight recently(13-15lbs). Your body knows what it is doing in order to keep that baby healthy, you'll be gaining weight anytime now!

Liam will be one month on July 2nd in just curious how much ounces of formula are infants supposed to drink? He drinks 4 to 6 ounces every like 2 hours or 1 hour. But when he's sleeping of course it's like after his like four hour nap. I'm just curious does he eat too much or that's normal?

She was 25 inches long and 13 lbs 8 ounces one month ago at 6 1/2 months and in the 4th percentile for weight. She weighed 14 lbs today one month later. She was in the 40th percentile at 3 months prior to my return to work. I've nursed her exclusively until 6 months and then I started giving her 2 formula bottles of 4 to 5 ounces each in addition to the 23 ounces of milk I send to daycare. We also started giving her solids at 6 months.

When my 1 month old went in for his 2 week check up the doctor told me that quivering is completely normal. She didn't say why exactly though. Just a call to the pedi and I'm sure they'll explain. This should help also: http://www.parksidepediatrics.com/eResources/Newborn/AppearanceandBehavior/tabid/123/Default.
