The calculator recommends the idle or a standard weight (in kgs and lbs) for the children up to the age of 6 years, by taking the age data in years and months. It helps the parents in comparing the weight with other infants of the same age and if the baby is overweight or underweight so that the essential precautions and treatment can be taken on time.

Why is the weight of the baby a concern?

The weight of an infant can reflect its future life. If the baby or the child has the idle weight for its age, there are lesser risks of health-related complications, infections, illness or long-term underlying health and development problems. 

If the baby is underweight, it may be due to lack of proper nutrition, not having enough food or serious medical issues, which should be tracked and treated on time. Some common problems of underweight include breathing problems and immature lungs (newborn respiratory distress syndrome), nervous system problems (ex. Intraventricular haemorrhage) or even sudden infant death syndrome (SIDA). Long term complications can include weak immune systems, vulnerability to frequent infections, digestive problems, delay in growth and development issues later in life, blindness and deafness too.

If the baby or a kid is overweight, it can be a matter of concern as it has higher chances of becoming an overweight children and obese adults. They are under the higher risks for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. Excess weight can also be a factor in delaying crawling and walking, affecting the baby’s proper physical and mental development.
