They are there to support you if your baby loses a large amount of weight or doesn't regain their birth weight within two weeks, so they will want to know all about how feeding is going.
How much your little one weighs is determined by your genetics and, importantly, your health and nutrition during your pregnancy. The midwife will be performing fundal height measurement generally defined as the distance from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus. These measurements will be jotted down in your notes.
Baby boys tend to be a little heavier than little girls, and their growth patterns are ever so slightly different. As a result they each have different centile charts. Visit the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health website to see some examples of baby weight charts.
Every child follows a growth pattern from birth - and usually the first thing they do is lose weight! This is more common in breastfed babies. It's normal for your baby to lose a bit of weight during their first few days after birth; this is because they are born with a little extra fluid, which they swiftly get rid of!
As a general guide, you should weigh your baby:. These charts show the pattern of growth of a healthy boy or girl. Be sure to attend your baby clinic regularly and take your little red book with you. In the first few weeks, your baby will probably gain about g to g 6oz to 8oz a week in weight. By about six months, they will probably have doubled their birth weight, and after this their weight gain will gradually slow down. The centile charts used to measure growth are just guidelines.
These may be caused by growth spurts, illness, difficulty adjusting to solids or simply burning up more calories as they start to crawl. A baby is considered to be born prematurely if they arrive before 37 weeks.
