Worried about sons weight gain, Only 18 lbs at 9 months...?
My son is 9 months old. I took him to his well child check the other day. And he has only gained one pound since his 6 month appt. The doctor wasnt concerned cause he is growing and developmentally he is fine. But I am worried. Should I be feeding him more? He was small when born. He was 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long. Born on 7/7/10. Should I be worried???

If the doctor is not concerned, I wouldn't be. My son was 18 lbs at 14 months old. Are you small? My son takes after me according to his doctor.

when deciding if that is a healthy weight you don't look at weight and age. you look at weight and height. however 18 pounds at 9 months is actually average and a healthy weight.
also if his dr. is not concerned or worried about it than you shouldn't be either.

If the doctor wasn't showing concerns and if your baby eats healthy then you shouldn't worry too much. All babies/children grow and develop at different rates.

The average weight for a 9month old is 18.75 lbs. You baby is just below average. You should not be worried.
