Your home is an investment in living as well as in savings. If neglected, it will pay no dividends. If properly maintained and improved, it will pay a high yield in comfort and usefulness for your family and in avoidance of costly repair bills. Home improvements also tend to raise neighborhood standards and, as a result, property values.
Most full term babies weigh between 6 and 9 lb. at birth. Expect your newborn to lose a little weight in the days immediately following birth. The American Pregnancy Association advises that a 5 percent weight loss is normal for formula fed babies, while a 7 to 10 percent loss is average for breastfed infants.
What is considered the normal weight for a newborn? The normal weight of a baby who reaches full term between 37 and 40 weeks is 2.7â4.1kg (6 â 9 lbs), with an average weight of 3.5kg (7.7 lbs). A baby who weighs less than 2.5kg (5.5 lbs) is considered to have a low birth weight. About half of all twins and 90% of all triplets are born prematurely, before 37 weeks, and have a low birth weight of under 2.5kg.
