Not diagnosis or prescription
Feeding, solids, and growth vary widely. Do not use this result to avoid or replace professional care.
03
Check source guidance too

When to seek care promptly
Repeated vomiting, possible dehydration, fever, blood in stool, suspected allergy reaction, poor weight gain, or unusual lethargy should prompt medical advice regardless of the calculated range.
