His weight for age is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your baby's weight for age is between 25th and 50th percentile. It is within normal limits and is reassuring. In fact at birth his weight was at 5th percentile and he has crossed the percentiles, which is good. I am sending you the URL of the weight chartby WHO to see for yourself.
