Your home is an investment in living as well as in savings. If neglected, it will pay no dividends. If properly maintained and improved, it will pay a high yield in comfort and usefulness for your family and in avoidance of costly repair bills. Home improvements also tend to raise neighborhood standards and, as a result, property values.
Most full term babies weigh between 6 and 9 lb. at birth. Expect your newborn to lose a little weight in the days immediately following birth. The American Pregnancy Association advises that a 5 percent weight loss is normal for formula fed babies, while a 7 to 10 percent loss is average for breastfed infants.
However, any birth weight of a term newborn between 5 lbs, 8 oz and 8 lbs, 13 oz is considered to be normal. In 2013, there were: 1  55,947 births at 1499g or less (3.3 pounds or less) 2  61,992 births from 1500g to 1999g (3.3 to 4.4 pounds)  200,908 births from 2000g to 2499g (4.4 to 5.5 pounds)
