Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What are the developmental milestones for a 1.5-week-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The younger the age, the faster the weight gain. The first six months after birth are the peak period for a baby's weight gain. In the first three months after birth, the weight can increase by 700-900 grams per month, sometimes even reaching 1000 grams per month. From 6 to 12 months after birth, the rate of weight gain slows down, with an average increase of 300-400 grams per month. Of course, this is just a reference, as every baby's growth and development situation is different.
