The baby is growing up bit by bit, and by the age of one and a half, many mothers have started to pay attention to their baby's weight. However, many mothers are not very familiar with the standard weight for their children at this age, and often measure the height of their babies without a standard comparison when weighing them. So let's pay attention to how much weight is normal for a one and a half year old baby?
How many pounds is normal for a one and a half year old baby
Firstly, it is necessary to distinguish between boys and girls. Different genders have different standards, and mothers should not only focus on their children's height and weight. The head and tail are also reference values, which should not be ignored.
Boy
Height (cm) 73.6-92.4 with an average of 82.7, weight (kg) 8.13-15.75 with an average of 11.29, and head circumference (cm) 43.7-51.6 with an average of 47.6.
Girl
Height (cm) 72.8-91.0 with an average of 81.5, weight (kg) 7.79-14.90 with an average of 10.65, and head circumference (cm) 42.8-50.5 with an average of 46.4.
How to take care of a baby when they are one and a half years old
1. The baby's temper has become bigger: The baby is now trying to do many things, trying to communicate with others through language, but the skills they have mastered often cannot meet their needs, and sometimes they are prone to irritability and irritability. Mothers need to be more understanding of the baby, help the baby relieve their emotions, and not oppose them.
2. Breastfeeding does not mean weaning: After weaning, it is also important to encourage the baby to continue drinking milk. Milk, as a type of food, can provide rich protein, which is beneficial for the baby's growth and development. But if the baby refuses to drink milk very much, don't force them to come. Maybe in a few days, the baby will be able to accept it.
3. Breath holding episodes are a phenomenon that may occur in babies at this age: some babies may cry loudly when they are angry, followed by breath holding, lips and complexion turning blue and purple, eyes rolling up, hands and feet dancing, and "unconsciousness", which will subside after 2-3 minutes. This is caused by the unstable neural development of the baby. Parents do not need to panic, but can gently hit the baby's cheek.
As babies gradually grow up, height and weight have become important concerns for mothers, as they are related to their physical health. If the baby is underweight or overweight, mothers need to adjust their diet accordingly. Of course, mothers should not only focus on these two indicators, but also pay attention to other aspects such as the psychological condition of their babies, in order to more comprehensively care for their growth.
