FACTORS INFLUENCING BABY GROWTH
The mother's doctor must carefully monitor all conditions that may affect the baby's weight. In addition, women should not smoke, drink alcohol, or consume illegal drugs during pregnancy.
Nutrition during pregnancy. Adequate nutrition is essential for the growth of the baby in the uterus and after birth. A poor diet during pregnancy can affect the weight of the newborn and infant growth.
Baby's health. Medical problems, including some birth defects and certain infections acquired during pregnancy, can affect the baby's weight at birth and its posterior growth. MedlinePlus
