POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. Yes, your baby's weight gain is within the normal range based on the WHO growth standards for a 2-month-old infant. Here's an analysis:
---
Birth Weight vs. Current Weight
Birth Weight: 3.304 kg
Current Weight (at 2 months): 4.5 kg
Weight Gain: ~1.2 kg in 2 months.
Expected Weight Gain:
Newborns typically gain 150–200 grams per week during the first 3 months.
Over 8 weeks, the expected weight gain is about 1.2–1.6 kg.
Your baby’s weight gain of 1.2 kg aligns with these guidelines.
Ideal Weight for a 2-Month-Old (as per WHO):
The average weight for a 2-month-old baby girl: 4.4–5.4 kg
The average weight for a 2-month-old baby boy: 4.5–5.6 kg
Your baby’s weight of 4.5 kg is perfectly healthy for her age.

What to Focus On:
1. Continue Breastfeeding: Breastfeed on demand to ensure adequate nutrition.
2. Monitor Growth Patterns: Keep tracking her weight, height, and head circumference as per her pediatrician’s advice.
3. Watch for Milestones: Ensure she is alert, feeding well, and reaching developmental milestones for her age.

If your baby is active, feeding well, and has a good number of wet diapers (6–8 per day), her growth is on track. Keep up the great work!
