Babies gain weight rapidly in the first few months, but the rate slows down as they grow older.
Here's a breakdown of typical weight gain for babies:
- First few months: Approximately 1 ounce (28 grams) per day.
- Around 4 months: The rate decreases to about 20 grams per day.
- Around 6 months: Many babies gain 10 grams or less per day.
This is a general guideline, and individual babies may grow at slightly different rates. Several factors influence a baby's weight gain, including genetics, feeding methods (breastfed vs. formula-fed), and overall health. It's always best to consult with your pediatrician if you have any concerns about your baby's growth. They can assess your baby's individual growth curve and provide personalized advice.
