Please note that Laurie Wheeler's reckoning is correct, and the baby has
only gained 19 ounces, NOT 30, when going from 6 lb 11 ounces to 7 lb 14
ounces.
Lee Galasso wrote that 6 lb 11 ounces is 107 ounces, which it is.  (6 x 16)
+ 11 equals 107.
But 7 lb 14 ounces is NOT 137 ounces, it is (7x16) + 14, or 126.  126 ounces
minus 107 ounces equals 19 ounces.
So the baby is not gaining an ounce a day, but between 4 and 5 ounces a
week.  I refer to my previous post on the acceptability of this rate of
gain; weight has to be one of the things we look at, and it is an important
one, but not the only thing.
