Patient's question:
The baby is 6 months old. Since birth, he has had up to 4 bowel movements daily, with more yellowish stools. At 3 months, his health check showed 16 pounds, and yesterday at 6 months, the health check showed 18 pounds—is this normal? He is also in good spirits and eats well.Doctor's answer:
Infant weight formula for less than 6 months of age: Weight (kg) = Birth weight (kg) + Age in months × 0.7. Generally, at 3 months, the weight is 6.98 ± 0.79 kg, and at 6 months, it is 8.62 ± 0.94 kg. Your baby's weight is slightly above the standard. It is recommended to carefully observe your baby's physical condition in daily life. As long as your baby is in good spirits and eats well, there is nothing to worry about.
