Going by the WHO medians, a boy gains about 3844 g (8 lb 8 oz) between birth and 19 weeks, and a girl about 3367 g (7 lb 7 oz). Individual babies vary; a steady curve over several weeks matters more than one weigh-in.
What is the average length and head size of a 19-week-old?
At 19 weeks, the WHO median length is 64.6 cm (25.4 in) for boys and 62.8 cm (24.7 in) for girls, and the median head circumference is 42.0 cm (16.5 in) for boys and 40.9 cm (16.1 in) for girls.
Is my 19-week-old underweight?
A weight between the 3rd and the 97th percentile is within the usual range, and a baby who keeps following roughly the same percentile line is growing steadily. Talk to your pediatrician if the weight is below the 3rd percentile, if your baby is not back to birth weight by about two weeks, or if the curve drops across two of the main percentile lines.
