Can a new born weigh 4.5kg

In general, newborn babies typically weigh between 2.5 kg to 4.5 kg (5.5 lbs to 9.9 lbs) at birth. So, yes, it is possible for a newborn to weigh 4.5 kg.

In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the average birth weight for a newborn is around 3.3 kg (7.3 lbs), with a range of 2.5 kg to 4.5 kg.

However, it's worth noting that birth weight can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as:

1. Gestational age: Babies born prematurely (before 37 weeks) tend to weigh less than those born at full term (37 weeks or later).
2. Maternal factors: A mother's weight, height, and overall health can influence her baby's birth weight.
3. Genetic factors: Some babies may be naturally larger or smaller due to their genetic makeup.
4. Multiple births: Babies born as part of a multiple birth (twins, triplets, etc.) tend to weigh less than singletons.

If you have concerns about your newborn's weight or overall health, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can assess your baby's weight and overall development and provide guidance on any necessary care or monitoring.
