How much weight can a newborn baby gain in two months?

Under normal circumstances, a newborn baby will gain about two or three kilograms every month in the first three months. However, even if the baby has not grown enough weight, parents should not worry too much. As long as the baby is in good spirits and eats well and sleeps well, there is no need to be nervous. Every baby's physical development is different, so the growth rate is also different. You must give your baby a reasonable diet.

How much weight is normal for a baby to gain in two months

The normal full-term baby weighs about 2500-3999 grams at birth.

What to do if your baby has a big belly button

This condition is medically known as umbilical hernia, which is a common congenital developmental defect in newborns with a good prognosis. Umbilical hernia mostly occurs in newborns, and a few babies still have it in their early childhood. An umbilical hernia is caused when the belly button does not close properly, causing part of the intestine to bulge out from the baby's belly button. Generally speaking, premature babies are more likely to develop umbilical hernias than other full-term babies due to their weaker physical development functions.

How to treat a baby's big belly button

If the bulge of the baby's umbilical hernia is less than 5 cm, then parents do not need to worry too much. Umbilical hernia can heal naturally as the baby grows older and the abdominal wall muscles strengthen, and there will be no adverse effects afterwards. About 80% of babies will recover before 1 year old, and 90% of babies will recover before 2 years old. However, if the baby still has umbilical hernia after the age of 2, the mother should pay special attention and consult a doctor to choose a treatment method.
