Introduction: Low birth weight (LBW) is defined as a birth weight <2500g at
birth, regardless of the term of pregnancy. The objective of this study is to
evaluate their stature and weight growth from 0 to 9 months of corrected age
(CA) in Senegal. Methodology: This is a prospective, descriptive, and
analytical cohort follow-up up to 9 months of CA including all live newborns of
LBW hospitalized and followed up from 01 August 2019 to 31 May 2020. World
Health Organization growth charts were used to assess stature and weight
growth. Results: During the study 136 LBW newborns were included. The
mean gestational age was 32 weeks of amenorrhea. At discharge, 46 children
(33.82%) were exclusively breastfed. At birth, the mean weight was 1487g (3rd-10th percentile) and the mean height was 41.52 cm (10th-25th percentile). At 9 months of CA, the mean weight was 8119g
(median) and the mean height was 74
