Definition: Live births with a birth weight of 4,500 grams or more, expressed as a percentage of all live births with known birth weight. High birth weight can result in complications for the infant and mother during birth and may be associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
Most babies double their birth weight by 5 months of age and triple their birth weight by the time they're 1 year old. The average weight of a 6-month-old is about 16 pounds (7.3 kg), and the average weight of a 1-year-old is approximately 21Â½ pounds (9.8 kg). Boys may be bigger than girls, and breastfed infants may weigh less than formula-fed infants.
