Watching your baby grow is one of the most exciting parts of parenthood. But how do you know if your little one is growing at a healthy pace? Let’s break it down!

1️⃣ What’s Normal?
Babies grow quickly! On average, newborns gain about 150-200 grams (5-7 oz) per week during their first six months. But, did you know? Growth spurts can make your baby gain weight faster during certain weeks.

👉 How often do you weigh your baby? Weekly, monthly, or when the doctor recommends?

2️⃣ What Affects Your Baby’s Weight?
Breastfeeding or Formula Feeding: Breastfed babies tend to gain weight more steadily after the first few months, while formula-fed babies might pack on pounds faster early on.
Genetics: Your baby’s genes also play a huge role in their growth. Take a look at your family history!

📌 Fun Fact: Some babies can lose a bit of weight in their first week. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal!

3️⃣ When to Be Concerned?
If your baby isn’t gaining weight, is losing weight consistently, or their growth suddenly slows down, it’s best to talk to your pediatrician. It could be nothing, but it’s always good to check.
