Synopsis: This information provides a detailed reference chart documenting average height and weight measurements for male infants from birth through eleven months of age. The data comes directly from authoritative health organizations including the World Health Organization, the National Institutes of Health's Gerontology Research Center, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, making it a reliable resource for parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers who need to monitor infant development. Parents of children with disabilities or developmental concerns will find this particularly valuable as it establishes baseline growth patterns against which to measure their child's progress. The chart offers specific monthly benchmarks - noting that newborn boys average 7.8 pounds and 19.7 inches at birth, typically doubling their weight by four months and tripling it by their first birthday - which helps identify potential growth issues early when intervention can make the most difference - Disabled World (DW).
Introduction
In the United States, the average newborn baby boy weighs 7 pounds 8 ounces (3.4 kg) and is 19.7 inches (49.9 cm) in length at birth. Most baby boys will gain about an ounce a day until they are three months old. By four months old, most male babies have doubled their birth weight; by one year, most have tripled it.

Insights, Analysis, and Developments
Editorial Note: While these measurements represent population averages drawn from major health agencies, every child follows their own unique growth trajectory. What matters most isn't matching these numbers exactly, but rather seeing consistent progress over time along your baby's personal growth curve. Parents should remember that factors including genetics, feeding method, activity level, and underlying health conditions all influence an infant's size. Children with certain disabilities or medical conditions may follow different growth patterns entirely, yet still thrive. Use this chart as a helpful reference point rather than a rigid standard, and always discuss any concerns about your baby's growth with a pediatrician who knows your child's complete health picture and can interpret these numbers within the proper context - Disabled World (DW).
