How Much Did/does Your 10 Month Old Weigh

My daughter weighed 14.5 lbs at 10 months. She's now 18 months and 19 lbs. She's perfectly healthy, just small. She also had reflux that she didn't outgrow until recently. Some days she eats a lot, some days barely anything except milk. With her, we offer a variety of foods each day, and she also eats more if she sees us or another child eating the food too. I wouldn't worry too much about your son's weight. As long as he still has energy and you keep offering food, even if its goldfish crackers for a week until his cold gets better and his teeth come in.

My son is about 22 lbs, but is really long and slightly skinny. He was really chunky at birth at 9 lbs 8 ozs and 20 1/2 inches. He won't eat baby food or baby cereal, but will eat small amounts of table food (gotta find another baby to eat the all the baby food I bought!). He doesn't seem to eat much either. Those little pieces of freeze dried fruit? Are they high in calories? Harder cheeses (cut in mini cubes)? Whole fat cottage cheeze? Maybe some of little snack crackers (similar to goldfish) that are higher in fat - you'd have to look at the dietary info on each box... :P Teething can ruin an appetite because of all the saliva that goes into the tummy. My guess is that it is a very temporary stage (and not to worry), but if it continues too much ask the doc., if they aren't worried, try to wait it out and if you can't, get a second opinion.

I have 10 month old twins. One is 17 lbs, the other one is 21 and a half pounds.

I will swear to you that my daughter, the 17 pound wonder, out eats her 21 pound brother every day of the week. But she is really active.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Good luck!

At 10 months, our son weighed 24 pounds. I'm 5'9" and dad is 6'5". He's followed his growth curve and our pediatrician is not worried. Lucky for us, he eats anything put in front of him but hasn't seemed over- or under-fed.

All kids are different, so if you pediatrician isn't worried you shouldn't either.

My daughter is 16 months and weighs 18 pounds.

Hi!
My little guy is just over 10 months and weighs 20lbs 12 oz.
The most important part is your baby is gaining weight.

An easy, high calories food...try baby or whole milk yogurt.
No artificial sweeteners. I use Yo Baby. I think it's by Stonyfield Farms. As long as its the whole milk yogury...you could try stirring in unsweetened applesauce, very mush bananas.

The cool yogurt will probably feel good in his mouth.

Good luck!

Has your baby started eating again? I have a 10 month old (19 1/2 lbs) who was going through almost the exact same thing: horrible cold & fever before new years with top teeth coming in, so she ate hardly anything except breast milk for 12 days or so. It was troublesome because she is usually a great eater, but our pediatrician didn't seem worried as long as she was well hydrated and getting enough milk. She finally started eating again and just last night we couldn't believe how much she packed in at one meal. Good luck!

When my oldest was 5.5 mons old I was told to "diet her" every other feeding was to be water.. LOL Yea RIGHT, she was furious!!! At 5.5 mons she weighed 25 lbs and now at 11yrs old she weighs 103 lbs BUT she is also almost 5'4" (Dad is 6'3", Uncle is 6'7" and I am 5'2")
I was "skin and bones" my whole life (59 lbs and age 11yr old, I was in gymnastics) and until the birth of my second I never weighed beyond 103 lbs (except pregnancy, gained 22 with my first and 86!!! with my second) I now weigh 130-135 and have never felt more healthy than I do now.
I say that if she is healthy, then she is just gonna be yer lil peanut, I would not worry too much about it.

My daughter was 17 pounds at 10 months and barely 20 pounds at 1. She'll be 2 next month and only weighs 25 pounds, doc says she's healthy, just petite.

My 1st son weighed 18lbs 6 oz at his 9 month checkup. He was always long and so thin. Even now at 2.5 yrs, he NEEDS adjustable waist jeans as his waist is probably 12m, but his length is almost for 3T.

Our 2nd son is 5 months and weighs 18 pounds. He's also long, just not thin. Both boys were over 8lbs at birth.

My point is they come in all different sizes. We were concerned about our 1st son being so thin. But as long as he stayed on track, the doctor was fine with it. For some extra calories, she suggested Carnation Instant Breakfasts mixed in with his milk. But, I'm not sure what age. There is also Pediasure (or something like that) that you can give him while he's on his eating strike. That should supplement the missed calories.

He'll be back eating in no time, I'm sure.
