A. before 6 months of age the child may pass urine between 6 to 7 times to maximum of 25 times per day also. it may be in small quantity and sometimes large quantity but should be pale yellow to transparent. straining while passing urine is totally normal and the child may cry just before passing urine. the stool pattern may vary from 10 times per day to sometimes once in 10 days. if the consistency of the stool is semi solid to mild liquid than no need to worry but it should not be totally watery again and again as well as should not be dry hard. no need to worry regarding the colour as well as smell if the above criteria is met. the average birth weight of neonates is about 3 kg. during the first few days after birth, the newborn loses extracellular fluid equivalent to about 10% of the body weight. most infants regain their birth weight by the age of 10 days. subsequently, they gain weight at a rate of approximately 25 to 30 g per day for the first 3 months of life. thereafter they gain about 400 g weight every month, for the remaining part of the first year. an infant usually doubles his birth weight (taken as 3 kg) by the age of 5 months. the birth weight triples at 1 year and is four times at 2 yedars of age. the weight of a child at the age of three years is usually five times that of the birth weight.
