The baby will gain back all the weight after 10 to 14 days after they start breastfeeding.If, however, the baby has lost weight because of a sickness or premature birth, it will take up to 3 weeks to gain back the lost weight.Newborns gain about 30 g per day during the first month and grow about 1 to 1.5 inches in height during the same period.Newborns experience periods of rapid growth at 7 to 10 days and again at 3 and 6 weeks.ewborns gain about 30 g per day during the first month and grow about 1 to 1.5 inches in height during the same period.

From weeks 18 to 32, the number of centimeters of fundal height is just about equivalent to the weeks of gestation. Thus this measurement can help you assess fetal growth and estimate gestational age. After 32 weeks, it no longer reflects gestational age as the fetus is growing more in weight than in length.rom weeks 18 to 32, the number of centimeters of fundal height is just about equivalent to the weeks of gestation.
