baby's weight and height
If you are concerned that your baby is larger
or smaller than other babies in his age group, remember that babies come in a
variety of perfectly normal shapes and sizes. What's more important than their
size at any given point is their overall health and the consistency of their
growth.

The majority of full-term babies, which are
babies born between 37 and 40 weeks, are between 19 and 21 inches long andweigh between 6 lbs., 2 oz. and 9 lbs., 2 oz., says the Nemours Foundation.
Although a newborn may still be healthy if he is over or under these
measurements, she may receive extra attention after she is born to be sure that
she has no health problems.
