Christy`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll I know that during baby`s first bit of life they gain an average of an oz. a day. (Read it somewhere) At that rate they would be HUGE by the time they are 1. My question is when do they slow down their rate of growth. I can`t find it anywhere. Experience anyone would be great! THANKS!!

my son gained weight consistabtly.. He didnt reach 20 pounds untill just before his first birthday.. i would say thats average or above average. after the first birthday he maintained weight very well he is now 16 going on 17 months and weighs 24 pounds. I think after 12 months they are able to maintain more and shouldnt be gaining as rapidly as they did in the first year. 0-6 months he gained 9 pounds and from 6-12 months he gained the 4 pounds. I hope that helped lol! he has always been between 50-60 percent on his growth chart, very average!
