When should birthweight double?

A baby's birthweight typically doubles by around 4-6 months of age.

However, it's important to note that this is just an average. Some babies might double their birthweight earlier or later, depending on factors like:

* Genetics: Some babies are naturally bigger or smaller.

* Feeding: Breastfed babies may gain weight slower than formula-fed babies.

* Health: Premature babies or babies with health issues may gain weight at a slower pace.

If you have any concerns about your baby's weight gain, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician. They can monitor your baby's growth and provide personalized advice.
