Certainly one of any brand new parents most significant worries is if their baby is growing enough and at the proper rate. You know it is necessary for baby to gain weight, so what if not gaining weight? What if he loses weight? Well here some things to keep in mind.
Did you know that a baby can sometimes lose 10% of his body weight in the first week after his birth? They gain it back, so do not be concerned. Following the first week infants will average a weight gain of four to seven ounces per week for a few weeks. Then they begin gaining 1 to 2 pounds a month. Infants may well double their weight by their four-month checkup and triple how much they weigh by their first birthday.
