Is my baby's weight ok?

Hi all just looking for you guys to share your experiences.... My baby girl is a couple of days off of 6 months and she weighs 14lb 6oz and 26 inches. One health visitor was quite happy with her size and the next one is telling me she is too frail, she has never been a big eater....I breastfed exclusively until two weeks ago when I began to introduce baby porridge and replacing 1 feed a day with formula (aptamil). Do you guys think she is measuring up too small.

P.s. she's very active and meeting all other milestones on time!

No. What was her birth weight. Rule of thumb babies typically about double their birth weight by 6mo and triple by 1 yr

Sounds small to me. My 3 month old son is 12lbs and I want to say 24 inches

She was 7lb 14oz at birth....very average!

Babies come in all shapes and sizes just like adults.. My son was 14 lbs at 6 months. As long as she is gaining weight and eating she is doing awesome.

That sounds right on track to me...she's nearly doubled her birth weight, which is right where she should be right now. Also, breastfed babies tend to weight a little less than formula-fed babies. Totally normal.

dd will be 6 months in 2 weeks and weighed in at 16 lbs 14 oz two days ago but she was a big baby at birth... 10.7 to be exact.
