 Growth at the age of 1 month is an important beginning for babies with a history of low birth weight (LBW). Gestational age, gender and birth weight are factors that must be considered in the growth process.

The samples used were all LBW infants whose weight was measured at the age of 1 month, as many as 80 infants who met the inclusion criteria. The samples were weighed and the results were recorded on the KMS sheet for LBW infants and the results were plotted on the 1 month old weight growth chart.
