Toddler Weighing 5kg. Is It Right Weight For 3months?
Dear Doctor My son was born on the 28th of Aug 2012, (due date 16th Sept 2012) weighing 3.5kgs. He is 3 months and 2 weeks now but weighs only 5 kgs. Milestone wise he is on track (according to what i read on the internet), but am worried that he is not putting on enough weight. His measurements at his pediatrician s check ups (immunisations) were as follows 1st Oct 2012 height- 53cms head circumference - 36 cms weight- 3.75kgs 1st Nov 2012 height- 56cms head circumference - 39 cms weight- 4.5kgs 1st Dec 2012 height- 58.5cms head circumference - 40 cms weight- 5kgs Please advice on way forward Regards Jayden SC from India
