Question: Hi my baby is will turn 1 on 16th XXXXXXX m just worried about his weight he weighs 8.3 to 8.6 kegs is tht normal
Brief Answer:
The weight is in normal range.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A body weight of 8.3 kg at one year of age is normal. The body weight of the baby usually doubles its birth weight by six months of age and it triples by one year.
After that the weight increases by about 2 kg per year.
In your baby's case, if the baby is having milk and other cereal properly and is active then there is no need to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
