Then again, he is healthy, happy, and moves ALL the time, so I will go to the doctor in the States and see what they say.<BR/><BR/>It's so stressful, but Donovan looks great and I am sure he is just fine!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236354461635531760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-2788626273178131942008-09-06T23:06:00.000-07:002008-09-06T23:06:00.000-07:00You're doing fine!

The best indicator of kiddos' health is their behavior; especially since Zach had similar growth patterns, try not to worry.<BR/><BR/>Kids grow in spurts: up, then out, then up again. Ryan would put on a bunch of weight, then stop while she lengthened and stretched, then would put on some more weight. She's been 42 pounds for about 4 months now, but has grown 1/2 an inch at least.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533055716012674763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-89673675951439165152008-09-06T16:20:00.000-07:002008-09-06T16:20:00.000-07:00I think D looks great and if your pediatrician agr...I think D looks great and if your pediatrician agrees that's all you need to worry about. I have never looked up growth rates for the girls (other than what prints out when we go to the doctor), this is why it's better sometimes not to look too much into these things. As long as the doc says they are healthy, I think you are good!<BR/>Stop worrying!We 4 Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039123069835156185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-83832251933606204452008-09-06T12:04:00.000-07:002008-09-06T12:04:00.000-07:00You have The Mother coming to visit soon (if she's...You have The Mother coming to visit soon (if she's not there already). I'd put more stake in what she says than what books say (remember, the babies are not reading the books or checking the websites - they don't know where they need to be).<BR/><BR/>If his activity level is normal (he's not sluggish or tired) and his "outtake" is also healthy, then don't fret. You're feeding him, he's eating, he's pooping, and he has enough energy to do what he needs to do (scoot around all over the house tormenting the cat).<BR/><BR/>He's a pretty large and healthy baby if you ask me! (Yes, I do concede that I have no baby experience... but he's still a big, healthy baby with a very aware and pro-active Momma who's doing a great job of feeding and taking care of him.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-19124808620048174702008-09-06T10:56:00.000-07:002008-09-06T10:56:00.000-07:00I am sure once he starts eating more solid food he...I am sure once he starts eating more solid food he will fill out a little more. He is also burning quite a few calories moving around. He might also prefer cow's milk to formula and you should be able to give him cow's milk fairly soon. It will be interesting to hear what the American pediatricians say as I am sure they do things differently over here and will give you different recommendations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-20881822646026652302008-09-06T08:52:00.000-07:002008-09-06T08:52:00.000-07:00Glad to know I'm not the only person obsessing abo...Glad to know I'm not the only person obsessing about baby issues! :-)Global Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829642620261054318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-67669794808047791762008-09-06T08:16:00.000-07:002008-09-06T08:16:00.000-07:00i know nothing about babies, but i am married to a...i know nothing about babies, but i am married to a guy who weighs about 125 lbs, and the daughter of a father who is similarly skinny so i would probably take the phrase "underweight" with a grain of salt, especially if the kellymom stats are for US babies. And D sure seems like a pretty happy guy!<BR/>I hope you find a good solution for you!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869813213951981071noreply@blogger.com
