my baby will be 7 wks in 2 days. he weighs 12lbs 6 oz. is this normal or overweight. if he is what do i do?
Answers:
There is no such thing as a over weight baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! babies very in size my son weighed 12lbs at 8 weeks and we weighed 7lbs 11oz at birth my girls didn't hit 13lbs until 3 months.
a friend of mines niece is already outgrowing 6-9 month clothing and she is only 3 months.
So you have absolutely nothing to worry about also the amount of formula he takes is just fine.
Just enjoy your son and relax before you know it he will be grown.

It depends how big they were when born, and how much they put on per week ect. speak to ur family health nurse or doctor if your worried as long as their weight is consisten i wouldnt be worried, if however they were born like 4lbs then that would be a worry lol
My son is 6 months old and he is 22lbs right now. He was 6.5 at birth and 13 pounds at 8 weeks. His pediatrician says he is growing fine. At first he was concerned but recent visits he has said he is happy, healthy, and right on track with his skills. Mine was strictly breastfed! Golly, why don't you ask your pediatrician rather than asking a bunch of nuts like us.
He seems a bit overweight to me, but I am NO doctor!! This is the type of question you MUST ask a doctor about, not those of us on Yahoo. You are looking after your child. You do NOT want misinformation from an uninformed source. Call or see your pediatrician who will give you the correct answer.
I hope this helps!!
Sounds healthy to me. Some babies are that much at birth. The important thing is that he's gaining weight consistantly. No worries.
Please disregard the comment about your baby being over weight. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing at this age, and that's growing. Babies need the fat for brain development. Your baby is not over weight.
he's normal...a little on the higher end, but NOTHING to worry about. 7 week old babies dont need diets! My son is 16.2 pounds and he is only 3 1/2 months, the Dr. said that its ok, and when he starts to crawl and become more active he will slim down, he isnt over weight he is the 90 percential for his age, he is very healthy... I used that lipil iron, but cut down because to much iron isnt good either, you should talk your doctor- but my Dr. said right now its not time to worry about overweight babies.
