Final answer:

A baby who is low birth weight does not weigh between 6 and 7 pounds. This statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. A baby who is considered low birth weight weighs less than 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), regardless of gestational age. The average birth weight for a full-term infant is about 3.4 kg (7.5 lb), so a baby weighing between 6 and 7 pounds would be within the normal range for birth weight.
