Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight should a baby gain per month?
In the first 3 months, babies gain 150–200 g per week. Growth slows after that: 100–150 g/week at 4–6 months, and 70–100 g/week from 6–12 months. Always compare against a percentile chart, not absolute numbers.
How much should a 6-month-old weigh?
Average weight at 6 months is 7.0–9.0 kg (15–20 lbs), but normal ranges are wide. What matters is consistent growth along a percentile curve, not hitting an exact number.
When should I worry about my baby's growth?
Contact your pediatrician if your baby drops more than 2 percentile lines, loses weight after the first 10 days, hasn't regained birth weight by 2 weeks, or if their head circumference falls outside normal ranges.
How often should I measure my baby's growth?
At every pediatric well-visit — typically at 2 weeks, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. You can do informal home weighings between visits, but use the same scale and method each time.
Can ChatGPT analyze my baby's growth data?
Yes — BabySync tracks each growth entry and ChatGPT can calculate weight gain per month, compare to WHO averages, and flag unusual trends. Ask "Is my baby's growth on track?" for a personalized summary.
