Average weight of the new born baby

The average weight of a newborn baby varies slightly depending on the source and the specific population being measured. However, here are some general guidelines:

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the average birth weight for a newborn baby is around 3.3 kg (7.3 pounds).
• The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reports that the average birth weight for a newborn baby is around 3.4 kg (7.5 pounds).
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the average birth weight for a newborn baby in the United States is around 3.4 kg (7.5 pounds).
• The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reports that the average birth weight for a newborn baby in the United States is around 3.3 kg (7.3 pounds).

It's worth noting that birth weight can vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including:

• Gestational age: Babies born prematurely (before 37 weeks) tend to be smaller than those born at full term (37 weeks or later).
• Maternal factors: Babies born to mothers who are underweight or malnourished may be smaller than those born to mothers who are well-nourished.
• Genetic factors: Some babies may be naturally smaller or larger due to genetic factors.
• Environmental factors: Babies born in areas with limited access to healthcare or nutrition may be smaller than those born in areas with better access to these resources.

Overall, while there is some variation in average birth weight, most newborn babies weigh between 2.5 kg (5.5 pounds) and 4.5 kg (9.9 pounds).
