To determine if a baby's development is standardized, most measurements are taken of their height, weight, and head circumference for each age group. When measuring, it is also necessary to use the correct method to make the results more accurate. By comparing these results, we can understand the development of the baby. So how to test the standards for baby development?
When measuring a baby's height, it is necessary to have the baby take off their shoes and socks, stand on a horizontal plane, and measure from the bottom of their feet to the top of their head to determine their normal height. In addition, when measuring height, it is important to keep the baby's legs together, head up and chest up, in order to obtain more accurate measurements.
When measuring the weight of a baby, it should be done one hour after the baby has eaten enough. When measuring, the baby should be dressed in close fitting clothing. If the baby has already learned to stand, they can stand on top for measurement when the value returns to zero. If the baby is relatively young and cannot stand, it is also possible to have the baby sit on top.
When measuring the baby's head circumference, be sure to choose a tape measure. Let the baby sit on the sofa and rotate the tape measure around the area where the baby's maximum head circumference is, to see the value of the tape measure. Through this measurement, it is the standard head circumference of the baby. Based on these values, it is also possible to determine whether the baby's development is normal.
