Weigh Ins

John is growing like a weed! a weed, I tell you. And that's making me really hungry. all the time. all the time, I tell you.

* If you notice discrepancies from earlier posts, you might just have too much time on your hands. I recalculated his birth weight, which was measured in grams but incorrectly converted to pounds. And the student who measured his length at the hospital was all thumbs. I'm going with our paed's measurement from 2 days.
** very approx. I'm nixing the CDC tables and using the WHO tables, like our paed, but I haven't found one with much granularity. 7,13 is between the 50th to 75th percentile and I'm eye-balling it to 60th.

Check Ups

At 4 weeks of age, Naomi is 9 lb 12 oz. I know that there are babies born bigger than that but I'm delighted that mine have started on the small side and ramped up quickly. Naomi has gained 2.2 ounces per day over 17 days - ridiculous. No wonder we're both eating constantly. She's "allowed" to go as long as she wants between feedings but I don't know if I've ever gotten 4 hours out of her.

At Adam's last check up in April, he was 30 lb 4 oz (75th percentile) and 38 in (> 97th percentile.)

percentiles from: http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_percentiles.htm?rd=1 Naomi's percentiles don't correspond exactly to the ones I had found (at a different site) for Adam up to 12 months. E.g., her 1-month weight is an ounce more than Adam's but the percentile is 3 lower. These are probably CDC data, i.e., from mostly formula-fed children. It makes a big difference from the new WHO-recommended charts for breast-fed children.
