1. Triple by nine months of age.
2. Double by five months of age.
3. Triple by six months of age.
4. Double by one year of age.

Rationale 1: The normal infant triples his birth weight by one year of age.
Rationale 2: It is expected that the infant would double in weight by five months of age.
Rationale 3: The child should double his birth weight by five months. A child whose weight triples by six months of age has gained weight too rapidly.
Rationale 4: The child should triple his birth weight by one year. This child may not be growing adequately.
