Baby weight less as compared to age

2023-09-16 13:17:37
My baby's weight is 8.1 kg at 8.5 months but it was 3.8 kg at birth. Should we concerned about it? Everything else is going with respect to milestones i.e. sitting, crawling, babbling, trying to stand up etc. How to increase weight of baby? We are tired of hearing baby's weight is very less.

Need to know the gender and length of the baby. Weight for length is more appropriate than weight for age .

Weight appropriate for age, nothing to be done for that. Ignore the noise.
