Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 6 m old boy4 years ago

A. this is not ok because if the child is at this much percent tiles the child has to be evaluated by the pediatrician to find whether it is genetic origin or it is due to some other internal pathology

Vritika AroraMom of a 5 yr 2 m old child4 years ago

A. Hi dear mom Yes this is OK. The weight gets double the birth weight by five months. Height is genetic and depends on the height of the parents. If ur baby is active and playful then no need to worry about weight much. Take care
