You will be told what percentile your baby is in for weight and height, compared with other babies of the same age. For example, if you are told that your baby is on the 90th percentile for weight, it means that he weighs more than 90% of babies his age. A useful rule of thumb is that most healthy, full-term newborn babies double their birth weight by four months and triple it by their first birthday.
By one month, most infants will gain about a pound over their birth weight. At this age, infants are not as sleepy, they begin developing a regular feeding pattern, and they have a stronger suck during feedings. On average, infants gain about one pound each month until they are 6 months old. Most babies double their birth weight by 5 months of age and triple their birth weight by the time they're 1 year old. The average weight of a 6-month-old is about 16 pounds (7.3 kg), and the average weight of a 1-year-old is approximately 21Â½ pounds (9.8 kg). Boys may be bigger than girls, and breastfed infants may weigh less than formula-fed infants.
