I thought babies needed to be 2.5kg or higher to be considered full term. I was 2.45kg and my parents fought with the nurses to take me home and my sister was given steroids (cause our mother has cancer and was pregnant) to make her grow bigger in the womb until she reached 2.5kg. She was technically a premature child because she arrived earlier than 40 weeks but she was full weight so she didn’t spend time in the nicu. Even when I studied child development as a course, everything says 2.5kg. Is it just Korea/Asia that says otherwise or did TL/author make a mistake?
