1-year-old baby weight?

⚡ Short answer: At 12 months, 8-12 kg can be normal; what really matters is that your baby's own growth curve is progressing steadily.

Weight at 1 year is considered normal across quite a wide range. According to Turkey's Ministry of Health percentile charts, at 12 months, with some differences between boys and girls, average weight is expected to be 9-11 kg. But 8 kg is also completely healthy at this age, as is 12 kg.

What matters is the percentile curve we call it: if your baby's own growth graph is following a steady course, then no matter what weight it is, there's usually no problem. It's not individual measurements that matter, but the rate of gain over months. Your baby's birth weight, current weight, and overall development (movement, speech, social skills) all need to be looked at as a whole.

Rather than quoting a single number, the healthiest approach is to have your baby's weight and height regularly plotted on a percentile growth chart by your pediatrician and tracked. If this monitoring is being done regularly and your doctor has no concerns, then there's no need to worry.
