Dear parents,
Weight gain in kids is as follows.
In first quarter weight gain is 750gm to 1000gm per month.
In second quarter weight gain is 500gm to 750gm per month.
In third quarter weight gain is 400gm to 500gm per month
Birth weight 3.3kg now wt is 5.8kg =2 5kg weight gain in 3month
750 x3=2.250kg.
3.3 +2.250=5.550kg
Baby is gaining normal weight
