Baby Weight According  Their Age

Weight and height give a lot of idea about baby’s physical development. A child’s weight and measurements are taken from birth, especially in the first year, by pediatricians.

Baby’s weight and height at birth:

The timing of pregnancy  and the genetic inheritance that selects for child birth. In principle determines its weight and size. So parents’ size or height affects the child’s height and weight. It affects not only the time of birth but also the subsequent development of the child. As early as the 38th week of pregnancy, more attention should be paid to the baby’s weight gain. Because the mother’s diet and physical illness during this period affect the weight and height of the baby at birth and can affect the mother’s diabetes and the baby’s weight and size.

The time of birth is the most frequently asked question about the weight and size of the baby. The question arises among everyone about the weight of the baby after birth. A full-term baby would be considered blanket weight if it is generally below 2.5 kg.  Again a full term baby weighing 4kg is considered overweight. So a full-term baby is considered to have a birth weight of three kg or around as ideal weight.

What is the growth and weight of the child?:

Measuring the baby’s weight and height are routine tests that the pediatrician will check at each visit. Baby’s growth in weight and size is not always the same. Generally, the baby’s weight and size change every three months during the first year. Similarly, weight gain in the first three months ranges from 750 to 900 gm per month. It decreases between the third and sixth months and increases to 500 to 600 grams per month. Between the sixth and ninth months, the baby’s weight increases and gradually decreases, during which the baby’s weight increases by 300 to 400 grams per month. In the ninth to one year it falls to between 250 and 300 grams.
