Indian Baby Height

and Weight Chart

INDIAN HEIGHT WEIGHT CALCULATOR FOR ADULTS
Baby Growth Charts

The baby growth charts (Baby Height and Weight Chart) give an
indication of your baby’s maturity and development. The following
measurements of the baby height and weight chart serves as a base-line
for future development:
 Head Circumference
 Weight according to height
 Weight according to age
 Height according to age
The routine measurements are inevitably compared to “the average” but
you should not worry too much about this. The “average child” does not
exist and only theoretical. So, the average baby height and weight chart is
just an arithmetical calculation. All the babies grow and develop at their
own pace.
Significance of Baby Height and
Weight Chart
 The baby height and weight chart tell us about the overall physical
health of the baby.
 A steady weight gain signals that his food is being absorbed and the
intake is sufficient.
 Whereas, erratic or poor weight gain or weight loss indicates that
the food is not being absorbed properly and the insufficient food
intake.
 Usually, all pediatricians give you the baby height and weight chart
along with the vaccination chart for babies. You can keep it for the
record.
Factors Affecting Baby’s Height and
Weight:
 The calculation of baby height and weight chart depends on various factors.
 Hereditary – Say, if you are heavy or tall, your baby is likely to be on a similar pattern
and vice-versa.
 Health During Pregnancy – If you are diabetic, the baby could be on the heavy side.
Or if you suffer from kidney disease or chronic hypertension or had pre-eclampsia, or
you used to smoke during pregnancy, your baby could have lightweight.
 Premature Delivery – Women whose pregnancy is shorter than 40 weeks have a
lighter baby.
 Gender – Girls usually weigh slightly lighter than boys. Twins mostly weigh less than a
single baby.
After birth, it is normal for your baby to lose weight in the first few days. This is basically
due to the baby’s adjustment to the new feeding requirements. After coming out from
the womb, the babies must now process their own food and it will take a while for them
to feed consistently.
At this time the usual weight loss is about ten percent of the birth weight. Do not make
much fuss about baby height and weight chart. When the baby settles into his feeding
pattern after a few days, you can expect the weight to begin increasing again.
How often should babies be
weighed?
 Up to 6 months of age – once a month
 From 6 to 12 months – once in every two months
 After 12 months – once in every three months
It is important not to compare your baby height and weight chart to
others of the same age. The most important criteria in assessing the
progress of your baby are general well-being and happiness.
If your baby is active, healthy, and happy, you don’t need to worry
about measuring your baby regularly at home. Your baby’s doctor will
do it for you when you will go for regular check-ups or vaccination
visits. He will check and tell you the normal weight for baby and weight
according to height in kg.
Premature Baby Height and Weight
Chart
 Until premature baby turns one year old, you need to adjust the
baby height and weight chart accordingly. Say, your baby is born
at 36 weeks, start subtracting 4 weeks each time from his age while
looking at baby height and weight chart.
