Because a baby is born with extra fluid, she will often lose a few ounces after birth, but usually regain the weight during the next week, and reach her birth weight by two weeks. During the first four weeks of life, your baby will likely gain 2/3 to 1 ounce of weight each day, according to Curtis and Schuler. After the first month, your baby will likely gain 1 to 2 pounds every month until she reaches her sixth month, according to Murray et al. From age six months to 12 months, your baby will gain, on average, 1 pound per month. By the time she reaches her one-year birthday, she will weigh 21 to 26 pounds.
Breastfed babies gain weight quickly during the first few weeks, but then slow down considerably and are leaner overall compared to formula-fed babies. During the first month, a breastfed baby grows approximately four to seven oz., 112 to 200 g, per week, or approximately one-half to one oz. per day. From months two to six, babies gain an average of one to two lbs. per month, and from six months to one year, the average weight gain is one lb. per month. From the time they are born until their first birthday, babies grow by approximately nine inches -- one inch per month for the first six months and a half inch for each month after.
