Congratulations on your newborn baby. As the nurse measure your baby in the nursing room, you begin to wonder. Is my baby too small or too big? too tall or too short ? Find out the average newborn baby length and weight


AVERAGE NEWBORN WEIGHT

Just like adults, newborns come in a range of healthy sizes.
Most newborn baby weight who is born between week 37-40 weight between:
6 pounds, 2 ounces (2.812 kg) to 9 pounds, 2 ounces (4.173 kg).
If your baby is below 2.8kg then your baby might be too thin or maybe he/she was born before 37 weeks
If your newborn weighs more than 4.173 kg, then you should deliver with a c-cut (since the baby is too big for your vagina)

AVERAGE NEWBORN LENGTH

Their average length ranges from 19 to 21 inches (48 to 53 centimeters).
Consult with your doctor is your newborn is not between those two numbers.
