A. Considering your daughter was born with a birth weight of 1.5 kg, a weight of 6 kg at 8 months is a significant improvement. Typically, infants are expected to double their birth weight by about 4-6 months and triple it by about 1 year. Based on her birth weight, doubling her birth weight would be 3 kg by around 4-6 months, and tripling it would be 4.5 kg by 12 months. Since she has already reached 6 kg at 8 months, she appears to be growing well, especially considering her low birth weight. However, it's important to ensure she is steadily gaining weight and reaching other developmental milestones. If you have concerns about her growth, consulting with her pediatrician is advisable. The doctor can assess her overall health, growth patterns, and provide guidance on nutrition and any necessary interventions. They might also consider her growth in the context of her overall health, development, and family history.
