A newborn baby typically loses about 5-7% of their birth weight in the first 3-5 days after birth (physiological weight loss). This is completely normal. By around day 10-14, your baby usually returns to their birth weight.
In the first 3-4 months, average weight gain is 150-200 grams per week; in the following months, about 500-600 grams per month. By six months, birth weight typically doubles. By one year, it often triples.
These are average values; every baby's growth rate is unique. The percentile curve tracked regularly is your best guide. If weight gain stops or drops noticeably, consult your pediatrician.
