It's a Boy!!!! Royal baby.

At 40 weeks, 6 lbs would be considered small for gestational age (below the 10th percentile for weight).

6lb is within normal at that age. Small would be ~5.6lb.

Having a 10lb+ baby is not normal nor something to be particularly proud of.

Who cares.

yep

Not that I care, but it sure is better to watch on the news channels than the Zim and Trayvon show.

What happens in Vegas, stay....

It turns out the kid was 8 lbs 6 oz, not 8 lbs.

6lb is within normal at that age. Small would be ~5.6lb.

I think you are using the 2500 g cutoff, which is true at the start of what is considered a term baby - 37 weeks. However, small for gestational age is usually defined as a weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age. At 40 weeks, the 10th percentile would be around 2800 g, which is more than 6 lbs. In fact, according to graph below, it's more like 2900 g or so at 40 weeks.

And here's the growth curve in British Columbia:

BTW, the new prince was born at ~41 weeks.

My smallest was 9lbs. My biggest was 11lbs.

8lbs is pretty small for a viking family.

I always thought 6lbs was average.

It is, in cambodia.

Do you just not know how this works?

 

[Sonikku]

Don't care.



Care more about padding my post count and bringing myself 1 step closer to the lifer forum than I do about this topic of discussion.

Maybe there is a unborn smaller twin they don't want released since there could be a potential succession problem. ^_^:awe:

8lbs is pretty cheap for a baby.
