I swear I am going to start losing hair from stressing over Briella's weight!
Birth weight - 7lbs 10.6 oz.
Lowest weight (2 days after birth) 7lbs 1oz.
Current weight at 27 days old - 8lbs 1.2 oz

So basically she's up 6.6oz from birth... and that's it. It seems like she should be growing faster. I bf her and she also gets bottles with formula (after the boob) so I would think she'd be gaining faster.

Anyway, not looking for advice, just hoping to feel less alone in this stress!!!

Neither of my older boys gained weight fast, and I'd be surprised if this one does. My older two were 8lb15oz and 8lb14oz at birth, and only 19lb at a year. So they come out big and just grow so slowly after that. I worried a little but my pediatrician didn't, she said that since me and Hubby are not very big then it's likely our kids will just be small and as long as they stayed on their own little growth curve and show at least some growth and are developmental fine than we shouldn't worry. They are still small. My 4yr old is only 30lbs and my 2.5 yr old is only 25lbs.

My dd just reached birth weight today and she is 24 days old. I'm not at all concerned. She dropped a bunch of weight really quickly and then slowly gained it back. She's gained an oz a day over the last 10 days. I'm sure Briella is fine!
