2. INFORMATION
Upon birth, the baby is often weighed by a provider to monitor
weight loss and gradual return to birth weight. When they ar-
rive home, you may want to weigh them to monitor their growth
in between doctor’s visits. Monitoring weight is one indicator of
good health. Regular monitoring makes it possible to see changes
in weight, particularly when your baby is struggling to feed. Many
infant scales only cover a limited period of time. That is why Bewell-
Connect® developed MyBabyScale®, the smart, scalable, connected
wireless baby scale that lets you keep track of your child’s weight
from birth all the way to adolescence until a maximum weight of 110
lb / 50 kg.
2.1. BABY’S WEIGHT
A baby grows the most in its first year, gaining around 13 lb / 6
kg in the first 12 months then just 6 lb / 3 kg the following year.
However, bear in mind that a baby grows in stages, with pauses,
and that there are great height and weight variations between in-
dividual children

2.2. CHILD’S GROWTH CURVE
See diagrams pages 4-7.
Regularly monitoring your child’s growth makes it possible to
create graphs (Height and weight, CF 4. APP). A baby loses weight
in the three or four days following birth. This is a normal pheno-
menon. Once the baby has returned to its birth weight, growth
should continue regularly
