at this age her weight should be atleast 4.5-5 kg above her birth weight.her height is slightly on lower side aswell.considering she was 4 weeks prematurely born you need to increase nutrition of your baby

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl4 years agoA. Hello ma’am See how it is completely on the genetics so if your child is going to be tall or something that will be totally onto the genetics of the parents apart from that weight is a little less as per the age so would advise you to consult a nutritionist and go for a proper diet plan for your child in order to have a proper meeting and since your child is preterm born it could be a possibility that your child is getting slow weight because of that
