A healthy baby weight range varies depending on factors like gestational age, sex, and overall health.
General Baby Weight Ranges:
- Full-term babies (37-40 weeks):
- Boys: 3.2 - 3.8 kg
- Girls: 3.0 - 3.6 kg
- Premature babies (less than 37 weeks): Their weight is often lower, and it's determined based on their specific gestational age.
Factors Influencing Baby Weight:
- Genetics: Parents' weight and genetics can influence a baby's birth weight.
- Maternal Health: A mother's health during pregnancy, including nutrition and any medical conditions, can impact the baby's weight.
- Lifestyle Factors: A mother's smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use can affect the baby's weight.
- Multiple Births: Babies born in multiples, like twins or triplets, often weigh less than single births.
