Babies born under 2.5kg have a low birth weight(LBW).Causes of LBW include factors affecting the mother like some infectious diseases eg rubella, HIV infection, malaria, poor diet, use of alcohol; or baby factors like genetic problems. Seek advice from a midwife. Go for all antenatal visits and give birth in a health facility to protect you and baby.
