Question
My daughter is almost seven months old and currently weighs 15 pounds. Is this normal?
Answer
The average weight of a normal newborn is about 3 kilograms, so your baby’s birth weight was slightly on the lighter side. A lower birth weight may be related to factors such as nutrition, twins, or the mother’s constitution. As long as you strengthen nutrition after birth, ensure the baby does not catch a cold or have discomfort, there is no concern. Postnatal nutrition and diet are also very important.
