When does a baby start gaining weight?

Newborn babies lose 5-7% of their weight physiologically in the days after birth. This is completely normal. Weight gain usually begins 5-7 days after birth, when breast milk production is fully established. The baby usually returns to birth weight within 10-14 days. After that, during the first 3-4 months, average weekly weight gain of 150-200 grams and monthly gain of 500-800 grams is expected. Weight gain is one of the most important indicators of the baby's general health; it should be monitored through regular monthly check-ups evaluated by a pediatrician.
