Accepted Answer

hello. in normal situations the recommended weight of babies is three times that of the birth weight it could be less in some cases or more in some other cases. but since your child was premature are born I would suggest that you consult your doctor once and if the child is healthy happy and taking their meals properly then sooner or later they will achieve a healthy weight on their own. do not worry as premature babies take a little while to reach their growth marks
