A. 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!
