Concept:

  • Birth weight of baby quadruples from 2 to 2 1/2 years of age (based on weight at birth).
  • A newborn's normal weight is between 2.5 and 3.5 kg. If the weight of the baby is slightly more than 3.5 kg it is considered to be normal. If the baby weighs less than 2.5 kg, then the baby is said to have a low birth weight.

Additional Information

  • The weight of newborn babies usually doubles by about 5 months of age. 
  • Birth weight of the baby triples by 12 months of age.
  • Height doubles between 3 and 4 years old.
