Children whose birth weight is less than two and a half kilograms, are called low birth weight babies. If a baby weighs less than two and a half kg, it is important to understand that the baby is malnourished and weak. Generally, overweight children have nutritional deficiencies and are prone to malnutrition. Moreover, if the weight and height do not increase in proportion to the age, the child will be malnourished. Anganwadi staff should know about this and seek medical advice if needed for cure.
