Question
The baby weighed 3 kilograms at birth and now, at two months old, weighs only 5 kilograms after a weigh-in. Is the baby’s weight normal? The baby is not drinking much breast milk; what were the previous situations and outcomes? I hope to receive some assistance.
Answer
The average weight for a two-month-old male baby is about 6.03 kilograms, while for a female baby, it’s about 5.48 kilograms. Height, head circumference, chest circumference, and sitting height should also meet the characteristics of normal infant development. If the baby’s weight gain is within the normal range and there are no other health issues, there is no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to continue observing the baby’s diet and development and to maintain communication with the doctor.
