Low birth weight

Technically, any baby with a birth weight under 2500 grams is a low birth weight baby (LBW). LBW babies are usually premature as well. However, some LBW are full term but undernourished and undergrown. LBW babies have increased risks of lung, heart and metabolic problems. They often require treatment in a special care nursery or NICU.
