How much does a baby grow each month after 8 months?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how much a baby should grow each month at 8 months?

Doctor's answer:

During the first three months of a child's life, a growth of 1.5 to 3 pounds per month is normal. If it's too little, it may indicate poor development, and if it's too much, it could mean excessive nutrition. Growth is rapid before 8 months, but it slows down after that.
Hello: Natural childbirth mothers can take a shower three days after delivery, while Caesarean section mothers can shower a week later. Avoid showering for too long, as it's important to minimize wound exposure to water or vigorous washing. Also, stay warm while showering to prevent chills that could affect recovery.
