Detailed explanation-1: -Between six and 12 months, the average growth rate is 70 to 91 grams (2½ to three ounces) per week. On average, babies double their birth weight by four or five months, and triple it by a year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Babies continue to gain about 1 to 1¼ pounds (450 to 560 grams) this month and about ½ inch to ¾ inch (1 to 2 centimeters) in length. Since your child’s birth, the doctor has been recording growth in weight, length, and head size (circumference) during your regular well-baby visits.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the first few months, babies gain about 1 ounce (28 grams) a day. That slows at around 4 months to about 20 grams a day. As they turn 6 months old, many babies are gaining about 10 grams or less a day.
Detailed explanation-4: -Your baby will continue to grow at a similar rate, gaining about 1 to 1½ inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) in length and 2 pounds (907 grams) in weight this month. These are just averages-your baby may grow somewhat faster or slower, and is likely to have growth spurts.
