A. My son was born preterm at 25 weeks with 720 grams weight and now he now is 4 years and 7 months he still weighs 12 kg with clothes. He looks. Very thin but he is very sharp and full of energy. He is hyperactive he doesn’t sit for a single second. I hope your child turns out healthy. Sometimes children just don’t gain weight but as long as they are happy and active you don’t have to be worried.
