A member asked:
Is a 6weeks old baby weighing 3kg underweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It depends on gender, but at six weeks, the second percentile of weight for age is about 3.5 kg. There are other important growth markers (such as head circumference), and other factors at play (was the child premature). Your child's doctor should be following this closely.
