Hello
Yes! Even without correcting for prematurity, these values are within the normal range for 2.5 months. Excellent catch-up growth despite being late preterm.
Next Steps
Growth is Normal: Baby is growing well on formula
Length, weight, and HC are proportionate
Late Preterm Babies: May initially need more support with feeding, But many like this baby catch up by 3 months
Continue: Regular weight checks every month
Responsive feeding (not overfeeding)
Tummy time + stimulation
Vitamin D3 supplementation
Health Tips
Red flags:

The baby boy has been following higher percentiles since birth and continues so. The weight is on the 90th percentile on the Fenton growth chart and the height too similarly on the 90 th percentile

If the baby is taking 34 oz of formula per day, it is expected that his daily vitamin d doses would be met with the formula itself. Otherwise, supplementation can be done
