At birth<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

At the outset, you should keep in mind that no two babies are the same. While one may weigh in slightly more on the scales than another, another baby who weighs less is also likely to be as healthy. On an average, a newborn weighs about 5 to 8 pounds. In certain cases the baby may be born large or small. <\/p>\r\n

Large Babies:<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

If the mother or both parents are overweight, the infant may be born large. While large babies may be prone to issues like low blood sugar, calcium, and other problems, staying in touch with your pediatrician can help you maintain your baby\u2019s health. <\/p>\r\n

Small Babies: <\/h3>\r\n

A baby may be born small due to various reasons like being born early, malnutrition, or genetic reasons. A small baby may have to have their temperature, glucose, haemoglobin levels monitored, to ensure healthy development. <\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t
