    The document discusses different formulas to calculate ideal body weight and weight changes at different ages based on factors like birth weight and current age.

    Formulas include weight in grams/kilograms based on age in months/years plus birth weight and weight in pounds based on age in years plus a constant.

    Weight usually doubles by 4-5 months and increases to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 times birth weight by ages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years respectively.
