infant weight

Infant weight is a measure of how much a baby weighs, typically recorded in grams or pounds. It reflects the baby's growth and overall health, with healthy weight gain indicating proper nutrition and development. Newborns usually lose some weight initially but should regain it within a couple of weeks. Monitoring infant weight helps healthcare providers ensure the baby is developing appropriately; steady weight gain generally signifies good health, while concerns might prompt further evaluation to identify any underlying issues. Proper feeding, whether breastfeeding or formula, is key to supporting healthy weight gain in infants.
