How growth usually goes at 1 month old
These numbers are only the average (50th percentile); the normal range is much wider. Even if your baby differs from the average, as long as their own growth curve keeps rising steadily, there's usually nothing to worry about.
What to keep an eye on
The trend of the growth curve matters more than a single measurement. If the curve suddenly drops or flattens, bring it up at a checkup.
aldagado's tips
- Check the growth curve at regular well-baby checkups.
- Rather than comparing with other children, follow your own baby's curve.
FAQ
My 1 month baby is different from these guidelines — is that okay?
