A member asked:
My baby was born 6.7 pounds and now @ 7 weeks weights 9.3 pounds. is that adequate weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perfect!: Over the first couple of months, your baby's weight gain should average 15-30 grams a day (1/2 ounce to one ounce). I calculated your baby's gain and age of 7 weeks, so it is averaging 25 grams a day over that 7 weeks. That is fantasti and right on track!
