[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the baby is up over 3 lbs from the lowest weight in a matter of 5 weeks? That seems like good gain. Id focus the pediatrician on the rate of gain and ask why that rate is unacceptable. It seems fine. Definitely ok to get a second opinion. OR just ask for more rationale/dialogue if you are walking away confused after appts. A good ped will discuss their thinking.[/quote] OP here. The pediatrician said babies his age weight in the 12lb range and he should be weighing more for his birth weight. He is also in a low percentile for his age and weight. [/quote] Most babies would not have lost weight in the beginning and would be heavier by now. That does not mean the baby isn’t growing appropriately now. Sounds like this ped rushing and didn’t review the history carefully enough.[/quote]
