How much did your newborn weigh? boy or girl? If you also know, how much did you and your spouse weigh as newborns?
Did he/she jump height/weight percentiles as he/she grew older?
I was 2 lb :@:
I am now 5'5 (shortest in my family). I was born pre-mature and my immune system still hasn't developed fully!
My brother was huuge! He was freakin 5 lb!! And he is now 6'3 at the age of 14!
Re: Newborn weight, percentiles etc
5lb, 7oz -- she was 5 weeks early.
Both hubby and I weighed 7lb, 2oz.
I weighed around 7lbs when I was born, my elder one was 7lb 4 oz and second one was 8 lb2 oz when he was born.But now they are medium.
Re: Newborn weight, percentiles etc
I was 6 and a half pounds, as was Izzah (daughter). No idea about hubby.
Izzah has come down on her growth chart because of feeding issues she's been having since the beginning. She was between 10-15th percentile, and now she's below 3rd.
Re: Newborn weight, percentiles etc
i was about 5.5 pounds n dont knw about hubby n MashAllah my first was 7lb which is smething like 3.5 kgs n second was a whooping 9.5lbs which is 4.3kg or smething n both of them are MA very tall for their age :D
Re: Newborn weight, percentiles etc
My son was born 7 pounds 11 ounces, he's pretty tall for his age. I was 7 pounds 7 ounces when I was born and I think hubby was around 6 pounds.
baby wasn't gaining weight due to feeding issues but has mashallah put on weight consistently since I started the bottle (haha i just read that last line...i mean started the baby on the formula...)
My second daughter has a strange history. She was born 2.62 kg (5.8 lbs) so she was under the lowest weight on the chart. M/A by 3 months she was on 50 percentile and by 1 year she was just under 90 percentile. But heres the thing she never actually looked very chubby. It was her height that brought her weight up. By 12 months she was above the height chart (81 cm)...and has remained off the percentile chart ever since. People never believe she is 4. Age 6 clothes fit her.

Re: Newborn weight, percentiles etc
My first was 5.5 lbs, 3 weeks early. She's always been low on the percentiles but hasn't fallen off the charts.
The second was 6 lbs 1 oz but gained on the percentiles and has remained on track.
