How growth looks at this age

From 1 month to 2 months, the median rises by 0.9 kg. That is about the same as in the month before. The gap between the 3rd and 97th percentile is 2.5 kg at this age, compared with 1.8 kg at birth, because the curves fan out as children grow. For comparison, the median for boys of the same age is 5.6 kg. Relative to their size, the gap between the girls' and boys' medians is larger now than at birth.

By two months most babies are well past their birth weight, and weight gain is still fast.

What does the percentile mean?

A percentile compares a child with healthy children of the same age and sex from the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study. At the 40th percentile, 40 out of 100 children weigh less and 60 weigh more. Anything between the 3rd and 97th percentile is in the normal range. What matters most is that a child keeps following a similar curve over time.

How to measure

Weigh your child without clothes or a diaper if you can, on the same scale each time. Home scales can differ from the clinic scale by a few hundred grams.

When to ask your pediatrician

Talk to your pediatrician or child health nurse if a measurement is below the 3rd or above the 97th percentile, or if your child's percentile changes a lot between visits, for example crossing two of the main percentile lines. A single measurement says little; the trend over time matters most.

General information, not medical advice. One measurement says little on its own: talk to your pediatrician or child health nurse about your child's growth.
