4th Month Baby Weight and Length:

4 months and you will notice how your baby has doubled the birth weight efficiently. Usually, about 1 to 1¼ pounds weight (which is around 560 grams) and approximately 0.8 inches (about 2 cm) in length are gained by the baby. Allow your doctor to maintain a constant record of your baby’s weight during his visits. Head size is essential as well as this is an indicator of your baby’s health. Either too long or too thin and you should get it checked by your doctor for safety. Even though the first year in itself is a time for rapid growth, you don’t want to take risks.

4 Month Baby’s Development and Milestones:

Amazed by the way your infant is growing? Here are some general milestones and developmental changes one can notice in a four month old baby.

1. Body and Movement:

Developing is just the word you can use to describe your little one right now. There is more to look forward to in every field for him. You can keep his neck aligned and make sure it is easy for his head and spine to grow the right way. Don’t start them to sit on their back already as it is not the right time yet, and they are still too young. To ensure the support when you are cuddling them is maintained as your child’s head is at a more significant proportion right now and it will be hard to keep it aligned well for more than a few minutes.
