How much weight do babies usually gain after those first 2 weeks?

Healthy full term breastfed babies gain 150-200 grams (5-7 ounces) per week. They gain weight steadily and quickly in the first three months. Then their weight gain slows down. Some babies may gain slightly less or slightly more depending on their family body structure. This is summarized in a table at the end of the information sheet How to Know Your Breastfed Baby is Getting Enough. Contact a local Leader to get a copy.
