For babies, the speed and magnitude of weight gain are important factors to consider. Mothers can also determine the growth and development status of their babies by recording their weight. It is not good for babies to gain weight too quickly or too slowly every month. So, how many pounds does a baby normally grow per month?
How many pounds a baby grows per month needs to be compared with their actual weight and month size. There is no need to constantly worry about whether the baby's weight has increased, let the baby's weight be controlled within the normal range. For newborns, there will be a slight weight loss in the first seven days, and they will weigh about ten pounds until one month after birth. In the following months, mothers can refer to their baby's standard weight to control their weight gain.
The weight gain of babies requires careful care from mothers, especially in several areas.
1. Drink more milk and less water. For newborns, the stomach capacity is particularly limited. You don't need to drink too much water on a regular basis, and ensure that there is sufficient nutritious milk to prevent plain water from occupying stomach capacity.
2. Mom's diet. Mother's nutrition is transmitted to the baby through breast milk. So mothers need to maintain a balanced diet in order to give their babies more nutritious breast milk. In daily life, it is also necessary to prevent the mother's diet from being greasy. When drinking soup, it is best to remove the floating oil.
