Birth Weight

Birth weight is the weight of a baby at birth, usually measured in grams or pounds. It is an important factor in determining a baby's health at birth and in later life. Low birth weight can increase the risk of certain health problems, such as poor physical and cognitive development, as well as an increased risk of chronic diseases once the child reaches adulthood. Conversely, higher birth weight can be an indication of better health, as babies born heavier are generally healthier. Birth weight is an important indicator that helps healthcare professionals to quickly and easily assess a newborn's health and determine any potential risks and interventions needed.
