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.
Yes, at first. Babies are born with some extra fluid, so it is perfectly normal for a newborn to drop a few ounces when that fluid is lost in the first few days of life. A healthy newborn is expected to lose 7% to 10% of the birth weight, but should regain that weight within the first 2 weeks or so after birth. During their first month, most newborns gain weight at a rate of about 1 ounce (30 grams) per day. They generally grow in height about 1 to 1Â½ inches (2.54 to 3.81 centimeters) during the first month. Many newborns go through a period of rapid growth when they are 7 to 10 days old and again at 3 and 6 weeks.
