These are things most children (about 3 in 4) can do by this age. Babies born early may reach them later — use their corrected age.

	Weight (3rd–97th)	Length (3rd–97th)	Head (median)
Boys	4.4–7 kg (median 5.6)	54.7–62.2 cm (median 58.4)	39.1 cm
Girls	4–6.5 kg (median 5.1)	53.2–60.9 cm (median 57.1)	38.2 cm

Any steady curve within this range is normal; what matters is that your baby follows their own curve over time.

Still only breast milk or formula. Growth spurts can mean extra feeding for a few days

Total sleep: 14–17 h in 24 hours, usually 4–5 naps (National Sleep Foundation and American Academy of Sleep Medicine ranges).
Most babies get their first tooth between 6 and 10 months, though some start at 4 months and some after 12.
