Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How much should a 4-month-old baby weigh and measure? The average weight for a 4-month-old baby is 14.2 pounds for girls and 15.4 pounds for boys; the average length (aka height) is 24.4 inches for girls and 25.2 inches for boys. Of course that doesn’t mean your 4-month-old should weigh and measure exactly that.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of 4 months: Baby is 6-1/2 to 7 inches long. Weight is about 6 to 7 ounces. Baby is developing reflexes, such as sucking and swallowing, and may begin sucking thumb.

Detailed explanation-3: -Find your child’s length in inches or centimetres at the bottom of the grid. Then find your child’s weight (in pounds or kilograms) on the left side of the grid. Follow the horizontal and vertical lines of these two measurements until they intersect on the growth curve.
