As a parent, it's natural to be concerned about your baby's weight. However, it's important to keep in mind that all babies grow and develop at their own pace. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to your baby's weight:
1) Babies lose weight after birth: It's normal for newborns to lose weight in the first week of life, and it's not uncommon for them to lose up to 10% of their birth weight.
2) Regaining weight: Most babies regain their birth weight within two weeks and continue to gain weight at a steady pace.
3) Consult a pediatrician: If you're concerned about your baby's weight, it's best to consult a pediatrician. They can monitor your baby's growth and provide advice on feeding and nutrition.
4) Don't compare: Every baby is unique and it's not helpful to compare your baby to others. Instead, focus on your baby's individual growth and development.
5) Breastmilk or formula: If you're breastfeeding, your baby should be nursing 8-12 times a day. If you're formula-feeding, your pediatrician can advise on the appropriate amount to feed your baby based on their weight and age.
It's important to remember that weight is just one aspect of your baby's overall health and development. If you have any concerns, always consult a pediatrician for professional advice.
