After a baby is born, there are many growth data that are not the most important, such as height and weight. Parents should pay attention to observation in their daily lives, and when deviating from the standards, they should promptly investigate the reasons. If necessary, they should also take the baby to the hospital for examination. So, what is the calculation method for baby growth standards?
1. Whether the weight meets the standard can reflect the child's nutritional and physical condition. Some diseases can cause significant changes in a child's weight in a short period of time. The standard weight for babies aged 1-6 months is the birth weight plus the previous month's age multiplied by 0.6. The standard weight for babies aged 7-12 months is the birth weight plus the previous month's age multiplied by 0.5. When measuring the weight of a baby, a unified standard should be adopted at a fixed time, such as whether they are on an empty stomach, how much clothing they have, and whether they have excreted, and the same scale should be used for weighing. The rate of weight gain in children will slow down with age.
2. If a child is born at full term, the average length is 50 centimeters, and by the age of one, it is around 75 centimeters. Afterwards, it will grow approximately 5 centimeters per year. If the height exceeds the standard or falls below 10% of the standard, it is considered an abnormal situation. It is best for parents to measure their baby's height while the child is asleep, in order to avoid measurement errors caused by the child's movements.
