What is the definition or description of: slow weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crossing percentiles: Weight should stay at around the same percentiles with increasing age. When it stalls or falls to a lower percentile it is considered slow weight gain and at the extreme can be considered failure to thrive.
