Now a days birth of under weight babies are very common.I my opinion this is caused mainly improper digestion system of the MOM.Although the pregnent lady use so many health product but the body do not accept that and those articles goes to rectom and of no use of mother health.there must be some thing which improve their digestive system which is used in East UP (India) and rate of low weight baby birth has been decline sharply.Pradeep Chand JainKatra Baji Rao,Mirzapur (U.P.)

As I live right on the equator where the average daily temperature is between 90-100 degrees, I have often wondered if extreme heat has an impact on baby weight. My baby was only 1900 grams when born and the average baby weight here is about 5lbs. Health care quality and per capita income is amongst the highest in the world where I live. If a baby is born that is 7 or more lbs, people are shocked! It is simply not the norm and, locally believed to be attributed to the extreme heat.

Are you serious????? We live in Wisconsin, where it is so cold we have to heat our homes over half the year. So, are we going to have fatter, more blubbery babies because it is cold where we live? You have got to be kidding!! If temperature were that important, why do babies vary widely now in their birthrates? Do you think that the birth weight varies depending on what season the baby is born in? This is ludicrous!!

We really don’t go to political and economics for medical research. Pre natal nutrition, smoking and other factors are predictors. Temps are seasonal and really do not factor into birth weight. I am sure this study is unwilling to admit they have no birthweight data in several planets for most of the last 200 years. Even an economist could separate data from poorer countries to more developed countries. If it was about temps, births outside the summer heat would have different birth weights.
