Baby Weight Gain Calculator
Enter birth weight, current age, and current weight to see your baby's gain rate and how it compares to the expected growth trajectory.
How Baby Weight Gain Is Tracked
This calculator computes your baby's total weight gain since birth and computes the daily and weekly rate, then plots your baby's trajectory against the WHO/CDC 50th percentile expected curve.
The expected curve shows the median (50th percentile) weight at each age from WHO data (birth to 23 months) and CDC data (24–36 months). Your baby's actual point is plotted at their current age to show the comparison.
A baby whose weight consistently tracks below the expected curve is not necessarily a concern if they are growing at a steady rate. What matters most is a consistent, upward trend — not matching the median exactly.
