What's typical at this age
The first few months are the fastest weight gain of a baby's whole life — often around 150–200 g a week. Growth spurts around 2–3 and 6 weeks can mean a day or two of extra feeding and fussiness. Between month 1 and month 2, the median girl gains roughly 941 g.
A percentile compares your girl to other girls the same age — the 50th is simply the middle. Being above or below it is usually completely normal; a baby who has always tracked the 15th or 85th percentile is typically growing exactly as they should. What pediatricians watch for is a sudden change in the pattern, not the number itself.
