Formula Used

Our baby weight calculator uses standard growth charts developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the expected weight range:

Expected Weight = (Age in Months × 0.15) + 3.5 (for babies under 6 months)

Expected Weight = (Age in Months × 0.25) + 4.5 (for babies 6-12 months)

Expected Weight = (Age in Months × 0.35) + 5.5 (for babies 1-2 years)

These formulas are based on average growth patterns and should be used as a general guideline. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice.
