Just curious....I feel like all my DS does is EAT! I feed him every 3-4 hours but he is growing like a weed. I was interested to see how he compared to other babies.

He is 12 weeks old and weighs 17 pounds.

I thought my baby was big. He's now 7 months and was 19lbs 2 wks ago. Don't worry, the weight gain will slow down. Babies grow like weeds. I was so afraid of how big DS would be at this time, but after gaining quickly the first 4 months, things have slowed a bit.

How long is your baby? The most important thing is that his measurements are proportioned.

skeeter was he a big birth weight? they should roughly double birth weight in first 3 months. sam is 14 weeks 14.6 last week, and was 6.15 born. i feed ds approx every 4 hours and he takes between 5 and 6 ounces of formula he does not have feeds in the middle of the night so it works out to 5 bottles a day. all babies are different sizes sometimes comparing to others is not a good thing i bet your little one is thriving right? well i am sure things are perfect
