Typically, a newborn's birth weight doubles by the time they are 5-6 months old.
For this child, that would be: 3.2 kg×2=6.4 kg3.2 \, \text{kg} \times 2 = 6.4 \, \text{kg}3.2kg×2=6.4kg.
Weight Tripling by 1 Year:
By the age of 12 months, a child’s birth weight is expected to triple.
So, for a child with a birth weight of 3.2 kg, the expected weight at 12 months is: 3.2 kg×3=9.6 kg3.2 \, \text{kg} \times 3 = 9.6 \, \text{kg}3.2kg×3=9.6kg.
