Greetings
weight of 6.4 kg is generally considered healthy for a 7-month-old boy born prematurely at 1.6 kg, as he has successfully quadrupled his birth weight. Since he is hitting milestones like crawling, rolling, and sitting, his developmental progress is a very positive sign of his overall health. Growth in premature babies is typically tracked using adjusted age and specific growth charts, rather than standard ones

Average around 7.5 to 8 kg is good. But considering low birth weight the weight gain looks adequate. Mile stones are also good.

For a premature baby born with 1.6 kg birth weight, current weight 6.4 kg at around 7 months with good activity and developmental progress (rolling, sitting, trying to crawl) is generally reassuring. In preterm babies we assess growth according to corrected age also. Continue proper complementary feeding along with milk feeds and monitor regular weight gain.
