Track your baby's growth with our age weight calculator. Monitor weight gain, development milestones, and compare against healthy growth charts. This tool helps parents track their baby's progress and identify any potential concerns early.
How to Use This Calculator
Using our baby age weight calculator is simple:
- Enter your baby's birth date

The calculator will show your baby's age in months and weeks, weight in kilograms and pounds, and compare it to standard growth charts.
Formula Used
Age Calculation
Baby's age in months = (Current date - Birth date) / 30 days
Baby's age in weeks = (Current date - Birth date) / 7 days
Weight Comparison
Weight percentile = (Baby's weight / Average weight for age) × 100
Average weight is based on standard growth charts from the World Health Organization
This calculator uses standard pediatric growth charts as a reference for healthy weight gain. The results are approximate and should be used as a guide, not a definitive diagnosis.
Interpreting Results
The calculator provides several key metrics:
- Age: Shows your baby's age in months and weeks
- Weight: Displays the entered weight in both kilograms and pounds
- Percentile: Compares your baby's weight to the average for their age
- Growth Chart: Visual representation of your baby's weight compared to standard growth curves
Percentiles help you understand where your baby's weight falls in relation to other babies of the same age. A percentile between 10-90 is generally considered healthy.
Important Note
This calculator provides general guidance. Always consult with your pediatrician for professional medical advice about your baby's growth and development.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Healthy Growth
Baby born on January 1, 2023, weighed 3.2 kg at birth. On March 1, 2023 (2 months old), the baby weighs 7.5 kg.
Calculation:
- Age: 2 months (60 days)
- Weight: 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs)
- Percentile: 50% (average for this age)
This indicates healthy growth according to standard pediatric charts.
Example 2: Potential Concern
Baby born on May 15, 2023, weighed 3.4 kg at birth. On August 15, 2023 (3 months old), the baby weighs 6.8 kg.
Calculation:
- Age: 3 months (90 days)
- Weight: 6.8 kg (15 lbs)
- Percentile: 15% (below average for this age)
This result might indicate slower growth than expected. Consult with your pediatrician to rule out any potential issues.
