I don't know if you remember but about a month ago I asked you if I should be worried about my DDs weight gain. (I will try and find the thread) I took her into the ped yesterday for her 4 month check up and she weighed in at 11 lbs 5 oz. She was 6 lbs 2 oz at birth. Should I be worried? The ped was ok with her weight and she is in the 10th% for her age in both height and weight. Should I nurse more often? She will nurse anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours. Thanks off to search for the old thread. :)

At 4 months we like for babies to double their weight. She's about a pound away. Is she happy and content and alert?
