Small and large babies

Most babies fall within a normal weight and size range, but some babies can tend to towards the smaller or larger side of the scales and there can be varying reasons for this.

Here, we provide an overview of both small babies and large babies. For small babies, this includes information on possible reasons for a small baby, health concerns and possible treatments. For large babies, this includes information on how we know the baby is large, why baby's fit, and strategies to help the woman give birth.
