How much should a newborn grow?

This article is also available in Italian.

We all know that babies grow quickly. At the beginning they grow very much!

You should weigh him once a week for the first month and then just once a month …

Here, I want to make only a small pattern, easy and fast to know how to grow until the first year of life.

• from 0 to 3 months : 200 g per week
• from 3 to 6 months : 150 g per week
• from 6 to 9 months : 100 g per week
• from 9 to 12 months : 50-75 g per week

This is obviously a simplification scheme, to further the development and growth of the child I advise you to read related articles at the bottom of the page.

We can also do an overview of how much our child might be long compared to the age, from birth to three years:

• 50 cm: Birth
• 56 cm: 0-2 months
• 62 cm: 2-4 months
• 68 cm: 4-6 months
• 74 cm: 6-9 months
• 80 cm: 9-12 months
• 86 cm: 12-18 months
• 92 cm: 18-24 months
• 98 cm: 24-36 months
