Question
My daughter weighed 7.5 pounds at birth and now, at two months old, she weighs 10 pounds. When she was 45 days old, her height was measured at 55 centimeters, and her height at birth was 50 centimeters. Is this normal?
Answer
According to the World Health Organization’s survey, the average birth weight for female infants is 3.24 kilograms, and their weight typically increases by about 2 kilograms by 45 days old. Their height also grows from an average of 50 centimeters at birth to about 55 centimeters, so your daughter’s growth and development are within the normal range.
