In this world, many differences are normal. Black people are different from us, and white people are also different from us. Some people have single eyelids, while others have double eyelids. However, we all agree with these differences. But as children grow up, many parents like to compare them. So, is it normal for a 15 month old baby to be thin and only 16 pounds.
Is it normal for a 15 month old baby to be thin and only weigh 16 pounds
Normal, there is a certain relationship between a child's thinness and poor digestion and absorption function, as well as some genetic factors. If there are no special abnormalities, there is generally no need to worry too much. Because of eating a lot, it is mainly caused by poor absorption function or excessive consumption due to high activity. For this situation, it is generally not necessary to pay too much attention. It is advisable to let the baby eat easily absorbable foods appropriately, while also paying attention to dietary patterns and supplementing zinc appropriately.
How to determine if a baby is too thin
1. If a baby has a good appetite, feeds a lot of milk, and sleeps well, but is very active and unable to relax all day, and has strong energy, then it is normal for the baby to be a bit thin.
2. If a baby is not very active, has a small appetite, likes to sleep, struggles to breastfeed, or even frequently spits milk, the result of this phenomenon is that the baby is too thin.
3. We should measure the baby's weight every month and record it. When weight loss or no increase is observed, take the baby to the hospital to see a doctor and determine whether the baby is too thin under the guidance of the doctor.
The growth process of babies is also different. You can see that some babies are very fat, while others are very thin. They may not be on the starting line when they are born, some are over eight pounds, and some can reach as little as three pounds. It's all possible, don't question it. Parents should not worry too much, even though the baby is very thin, as long as they eat well.
