The main indicators of your baby's health are adequate gain in weight, length and head circumference on the growth curves. As long as your baby is following her/his conventional curve of growth and there are no sharp drops or discrepancies, then you do not need to worry. Check your baby's developmental chart in the health record for this kind of information.
