How much weight is normal for a child?

Patient's question:

My daughter is almost seven months old and currently weighs 15 pounds. Is that normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the average birth weight of a normal child is about 3 kilograms. Your baby's birth weight is slightly lower. The smaller size of the baby is related to factors such as nutrition, being a twin, and the mother's physical condition. Generally, as long as you strengthen nutrition after birth and take care to keep the baby warm and prevent colds, there is no problem if the baby feels comfortable. It will gradually return to normal. Postnatal nutrition and diet are also very important.
