POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. The weight of a 2-month-old baby boy can vary, but a general guideline is:
Birth Weight Doubling: Babies typically gain about 150–200 grams per week in the first 3 months.
By 2 months, a baby boy’s weight is usually:
Average Range: 4.5–6.5 kg (10–14.3 lbs).
If Premature: The weight might be lower but should still follow a consistent growth curve.
How to Ensure Healthy Weight Gain:
1. Breastfeeding or Formula Feeding:
Feed on demand, approximately every 2–3 hours.
2. Monitor Feeding:
Ensure he is latching well and feeding for about 10–20 minutes on each breast.
3. Check for Signs of Hunger:
Look for cues like sucking fists, rooting, or becoming fussy.
When to Be Concerned:
If the baby isn’t gaining weight consistently.
If there are fewer than 6 wet diapers per day.
If he seems lethargic or doesn’t feed well.
Regular checkups with the pediatrician are essential to track growth and ensure the baby is meeting developmental milestones.
