Low birth weight (LBW) refers to infants born weighing less than 5.5 pounds (2,500 grams). This condition can arise from various factors, including premature birth, maternal health issues, and inadequate prenatal care. Babies with LBW are at a higher risk for health complications, including developmental delays and chronic health problems. Addressing low birth weight is crucial for improving infant health outcomes. Interventions may include better access to prenatal care, education for expectant mothers, and support for healthy lifestyle choices during pregnancy. By focusing on these areas, we can help reduce the incidence of LBW and promote healthier futures for infants.
