How much does the baby weigh at two months

When children are young, parents like to compare their own children with other children's babies to see whose baby is fatter and cuter. However, when comparing, they will feel that all babies are different. Some babies are very fat and big, while some babies look thin and small. So how much should a baby weigh at two months? I have a two-month-old baby around me, so naturally I wanted to learn more.

At 2 months old, the baby's daily life begins to become regular and a fixed feeding time is also formed. You should massage your baby regularly and take him out more often to broaden his horizons. When you play with him, he smiles, follows objects horizontally with his eyes, turns his head to look for sounds, and sucks his thumb.

Baby's weight at two months:

Boys: height 52.2-65.7cm; weight 3.94-7.97kg; head circumference 35.2-42.9cm.

Baby girl: height 51.1-64.1cm; weight 3.72-7.46kg; head circumference 34.5-41.8cm.

Note: The above data is compiled based on the Ministry of Health's "Reference Standards for Growth and Development of Children Under 7 Years Old in China".

The development of a baby's abilities mainly refers to the comprehensive development of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, language, emotions, and social skills. However, the focus is slightly different for each baby at each age, which is also related to the baby's own developmental characteristics.

The basic abilities of a 2-month-old baby include:

Abilities that should be mastered (most babies can do it): can make "gurgle" and "coo" sounds; eyes can track objects within the field of vision; pay attention to their own hands; can hold their heads up for a short while.

Developing abilities (half of the babies can do this): smile and laugh out loud; can lift the head 45%; movements are more stable and continuous.

Advanced abilities (only a few babies can do this): can hold head up steadily; can support body weight with legs; can hold head and shoulders up when lying on prone.

Starting from this month, it is best to regularize your baby's feeding time. Generally, the interval is 3-4 hours, increase the amount of breastfeeding each time, feed 5-6 times a day, and feed at roughly the same time. From birth to one year old, the baby's brain develops rapidly, increasing by an average of 1000ml every month.

Babies who are exclusively breastfed generally do not need to be fed water before 4 months old. They need to supplement calcium so that the calcium can be passed to the baby through breast milk, allowing the baby to grow more healthily.

Babies who are bottle-fed need to be fed water once between breastfeedings because milk contains more minerals that the baby cannot fully absorb, and the excess minerals must be excreted through the kidneys. In addition, bottle-fed babies must be guaranteed adequate water supply.

The above weight standard is for reference only. The baby's weight at two months is closely related to the baby's weight when he is just born. In addition, if the baby has been sick during the two months of growth and development, or the mother's milk is not good and the baby is not full, it is easy to cause the baby's weight to drop sharply, so parents should refer to it carefully.
