Normal growth: A weight of 7.1 lbs at birth is consistent with the 25th percentile for girls, which is well within normal limits. Current weight of 11.15 lbs at 14w5d of age is consistent with ~50th percentile for girls. Her length is also consistent with 50th percentile (about average) for her age. This baby is gaining weight very well and is not underweight. Most babies double their weight by 6 months.
