A baby weighing 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy is slightly below average but can still be normal, depending on overall growth patterns. To support healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein (like lentils, eggs, or dairy), iron, calcium, and essential vitamins. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor the baby's growth and ensure proper care.
