Question
Is it normal for a baby born weighing 5 pounds to now be 4 months old and only weigh 10 pounds?
Answer
This is considered abnormal. A baby should weigh twice as much as at birth by three months old. The current situation of the baby may indicate poor growth and development or inadequate feeding issues. It is recommended to improve the feeding method, ensure the baby receives adequate nutrition, and supplement with necessary vitamin D and calcium under a doctor’s guidance.
