2-month-old baby vest: how many stitches — is this normal, or should we see a specialist?

Knitting a vest for your baby is thoughtful. How many stitches to cast on depends entirely on yarn thickness, needle size, and vest style (plain, knit-purl, zippered, etc.) — there's no single answer.
But if your second question is: "Is stitch count normal, should we see a specialist?" — No, this isn't a health issue. It's purely a knitting technique question, so there's no medical reason to see a pediatrician.
The practical way to find the right stitch count:
1. Gauge swatch: Knit a 10x10 cm swatch with your yarn and needles.
2. Count and calculate: Count stitches in that 10 cm, then scale up for your baby's chest circumference (about 35-40 cm).
3. Use a pattern: Search "2-month-old baby vest how many stitches" on the internet in the same yarn and pattern style — you'll find a shared pattern for your exact setup. This is the most reliable.
In short: this isn't a health question, so don't worry about seeing a doctor. It's just knitting math. Happy knitting!
