My son doubled his birth weight at 3 months. Just curious, when did your baby double the birth weight?

My son doubled his birth weight at approx. 9-10 months, my daughter at about 11 months, they were both born in the 9 lb. range though.

Not all kids will gain weight at the same pace. My babies were born big. If they tripled their weight by a year they would have been close to 30 lbs. They were both exactly 20 lbs. at a year (and perfectly healthy).

Depends on their birth weight and rate of growth though. Not all 9 lbs. babies are meant to be 27 lbs at a year.
