Mothers must learn more about the growth and development standards of their babies in order to better assess whether their development is normal. But many mothers are busy with work and do not have the extra energy to actively learn about parenting knowledge. Let's take a look at the 15 month development standard for babies.
When the baby is 15 months old, their height is approximately between 71.2 centimeters and 88.9 centimeters, with an average height of 79.8 centimeters. At this time, the baby's weight is approximately between 7.68 kilograms and 14.88 kilograms, with an average weight of 10.68 kilograms. The head circumference ranges from 43.2 centimeters to 51.1 centimeters, with an average head circumference of 47 centimeters. These data are the standards for male babies, with female babies being 1 to 2 centimeters shorter in height, 0.3 to 0.5 kilograms lighter in weight, and 1 to 2 centimeters smaller in head circumference than male babies.
At this point, the baby's gross and fine movements have also improved significantly, and they can walk steadily on their own. Some strong babies can even jump in place. If given a box of building blocks, the baby can construct some shapes based on their own four dimensions. If the mother guides well, the baby will know how to put away the building blocks even after they stop playing. At this point, the baby's little hands are also very strong, and they can grab the spoon and eat on their own.
At this stage, babies should start learning to speak, and mothers should develop their language abilities in a timely manner. When the baby has a request, be sure to wait for the baby to say it out loud, and do not take the initiative to understand the baby's meaning. Even if the baby cannot express themselves clearly, it is important to give them the opportunity to actively express themselves in order to help them learn to speak faster.
