Check for diagnosis of infant weight gain too fast:
A normal full-term baby is born at a weight of about 2000-4000 grams.
In the first 3 months, the baby gains 180-200 grams per week, 150-180 grams per week for 4-6 months, 900-120 grams per week for 6-9 months, and 9-12 months for blades. It grows 60-90 grams per week.
According to the weight gain multiples, the baby's weight at 6 months is twice that at birth, about 3 times at 1 year old, about 4 times at 2 years old, and about 4.6 times at 3 years old.
In the second year after birth, the baby's weight increased by an average of 2,500-3,000 grams.
After the age of 2, the average annual growth rate is about 2000 grams, until the puberty.
Baby weight calculation formula at different stages: weight within 6 months = birth weight + month age × 600 grams. 7-12 months weight = birth weight + month age × 500 grams. 2-7 years old weight = age × 2+8000 grams.
Intimate tips:
1. When measuring your baby's weight, first remove the bowel movements and fasting.
2. To reduce the weight of clothes and diapers.
3. The weight should be measured once a month within 1 year of age.
4. Boys of the same age are heavier than girls.

Symptom identification of infants whose weight gain is too fast and confusing:
Children who grow too fast in the first year after birth can increase the risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
A baby's weight gain too fast can cause heart disease in adulthood. A baby who is born at a lighter weight has a relatively high systolic blood pressure in adulthood. In the first 5 months after birth, the weight gains rapidly and the baby who gains weight rapidly during the age of 2-5 years has a relatively high systolic blood pressure in youth. The baby's rapidly increasing weight after birth is also relatively high in diastolic blood pressure. Early education, pregnancy, and excessive weight gain within a few weeks after birth are one of the reasons for the decline in lung volume in infants and young children.
If the baby grows too fast in the first 4 months of life, it may lead to obesity in the future.
