A. To determine whether your baby is underweight, it’s important to consider both their age and growth pattern. Babies typically grow at different rates, but their weight should generally fall within certain percentiles based on their age and sex.
For example:
At 6 months, the average weight for boys is around 7.5 kg to 9 kg, and for girls, it is about 6.5 kg to 8.5 kg.
At 1 year, the average weight for boys is approximately 9.2 kg to 11 kg, and for girls, it’s about 8.5 kg to 10.5 kg.
If your baby is 8 kg and falls within the average weight for their age (usually 6-12 months), they are likely within a healthy range. However, if your baby is older or consistently gaining weight slower than expected, it’s a good idea to check with your pediatrician to ensure there are no underlying health concerns. Your doctor can also track your baby’s growth curve to see if they are growing proportionally over time.
If you're concerned about your baby's weight, consider discussing it with a pediatrician for more specific advice.
