On average, newborn babies weigh between 6 and 9 lbs. It is expected that within the first couple of days in a newborn baby's life, he will lose up to 10 percent of the weight he was when first born. Losing more than 10 percent of birth weight can be dangerous to a baby's health. During the first month of life, babies should gain at least 5 oz. per week according to kidshealth.org.
