POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. It is normal for babies' weight gain to vary from week to week. In the first few months of life, babies typically gain around 150-250 grams per week, but the rate of weight gain can fluctuate as they go through growth spurts or changes in feeding patterns.
A weight gain of 100 grams in one week is not necessarily a concern, as it could be due to various factors such as:
1. Growth Spurts: Sometimes babies have slower growth weeks, followed by rapid growth spurts.
2. Feeding Patterns: If there were any changes in feeding frequency or volume, this could impact weight gain.
3. Health Factors: Temporary issues like mild illnesses or discomfort (like teething or a cold) can sometimes slow down weight gain.
As long as your baby is active, feeding well, and meeting other developmental milestones, a slight dip in weight gain may not be a cause for concern. However, if you are worried or notice any other signs of concern (like reduced feeding, lethargy, or poor growth in general), it is best to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any potential issues.
