  • Answer:

    Well, as you know, his weight is below the 5th percentile for babies(boys) his age. That means the majority of boy's his age weigh more than he does. My son is 9 and a half months and weighs 21 lbs. so he's sitting right around the middle(50% weigh less, 50% weigh more). I'd be a little concerned with his weight especially since he's not taking in much formula. His doctor has to have said something to you about this, right? He/She should be well aware of what's going on and should be able to set up a course of action for you to take. Don't take diet advice from strangers on Y!A when it comes to your baby.

Well, my son's 3.5 months old and was weighed yesterday, he's a whopping 17.8lbs. He's a long boy though, wears 6-9 months clothing. There are special formula milks you can give your baby which are high in calories, has the doctor not mentioned this to you?

My son is five months old and weighs 15lbs 12oz and even he is below the 50th percentile. He is above the 50th percentile for height. His head is bigger than average but that is hereditary. Perhaps you should see a specialist to find out ways to help him put on a bit of weight and find out why he is vomiting certain foods. Good luck.

my son will be 10 months on the 4th and is 27 and 1/2 inches long he weighs 17lbs and 5oz (right after a full sippy cup of juice) dont overdo it with butter its not good for him! a little butter is fine but geez my doc says my son is perfect on the chart right now. hes healthy dont try to make him fat as long as hes eating! my son wont drink any formula anymore so he eats breakfast when he wakes up a morning snack after nap then lunch before second nap and when he wakes up an afternoon snack and then supper when we eat. you dont need help hes freakin healthy!!!
