POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 9 yr old boy5 years agoA. Early childhood malnutrition is one of the most severe and avoidable conditions any baby can face. Finding out whether or not your child is malnourished is the first step towards solving this problem. Using the WHO growth standards for baby growth as a benchmark is the best way to understand what healthy and unhealthy weight gain looks like for a child. According to the Australian Breastfeeding Association, which uses the same standards as WHO, for baby growth, the normal standards for weight loss and weight gain for babies are as follows:A newborn loses approximately 5% to 10% of their birth weight within the first week after delivery. A newborn begins to put on the lost weight within the first three weeks of delivery. Babies double their birth weight within the first three to four months after birth. Boys can gain almost three times their birth weight within the first year, while girls can take up to sixteen months to triple their birth weight. Within the first year, your baby’s birth length is expected to increase by one and a half times. Your baby’s head circumference is expected to increase by almost 11 inches before or around his first birthday. https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/baby-not-gaining-weight-causes-signs-remedies/

AbhayaMom of a 16 yr 3 m old boy5 years agoA. Hi mom The weight should be around 6-9 kgs. If ur baby is active and playful then no need to worry about weight much. Some babies they take time to adjust to the solid food. So keep trying. If baby is rejecting one food offer the other variety of food. U can give cerelac, khichdi, daal ka pani, ripe banana etc to ur baby.
