For parents with a little one in (or previously in) the NICU, it can get a bit confusing when your nurse or physician tells you your baby’s weight by measurement in grams. Utilize our weight chart to convert your baby’s weight from grams (g) to ounces (oz) or pounds (lbs) to get a better idea of how much your baby weighs.

Converting Your Baby’s Weight from Grams to Pounds

To find your baby’s weight in pounds and ounces, first locate on the chart his/her weight in grams. The number at the top will give you pounds and the number to the left side of the column will give you ounces. For example, if your baby weighs 1134 grams, then he or she weighs 2 pounds and 8 ounces.
