Determination of body weight of children under one year of age using formulas….

Determining the weight of children under 6 months (according to Leviant)

M = m + (nx800)

M is the current mass of the child
m is the mass at birth of the child
n - age (month) of the child

For example: 4-month-old child, birth weight 3300g

M = 3300 + 4 × 800, M = 6500g

So the baby should weigh about 6500 g!

Weight determination of children from 7 months to 1 year (according to Leviant)

M = m + (6 × 800) + 400x (n-6)

M is the current mass of the child
m is the mass at birth of the child
n - age (month) of the child

For example: 11-month-old child, birth weight 3600g

M=3600+(6×800)+400x(11-6), M=10400g

So the baby should weigh about 10400 g!

If the difference between the above calculation and the child's weight is more than 1 kg, it is necessary to take the child to a pediatrician
