After birth, due to the continuous strengthening of nutrition, babies also gain weight and height. It is also important to pay attention to whether babies are deficient in calcium, as calcium is crucial for bone growth. At a certain age, complementary foods should be added.

1、 Is it normal for a 20 month old baby to have a weight of 22
This is normal to maintain sufficient nutrition supply for babies, pay attention to calcium supplementation and intake of trace elements, and avoid a single diet. Vegetables and fruits are both acceptable. At 20 months, the baby's weight should be around 19-28 pounds.

2、 Development indicators of a 20 month old baby
1. Language: At this point, babies have already begun to learn how to speak and their language skills are becoming more and more perfect. They can remember the names of many things, the uses of objects, and express themselves with simple words such as "give me, I want, eat," etc. Some babies can even say a complete sentence to express themselves. The baby may start shouting and throwing things, but it is not a personality issue.
2. Pick it up, stand on your own, and walk independently and steadily. You can also walk sideways or backwards. With the support of parents, one can flexibly climb up and down stairs. I have learned to flip through pages one by one, and I can also play fine games in my hands very well, such as stacking small buckets, arranging building blocks, etc.
3. Memory: As babies begin to recognize words, their memory gradually strengthens. Although they may not fully understand the meaning of the lyrics, they are able to recite long passages of the lyrics. This is mainly because their interest is not in the lyrics, but in the melody of the songs that attract them. At this time, the baby's hand eye coordination ability gradually strengthens. He likes to break things apart and can pick up very small things on the ground, and accurately pinch them with his thumb and index finger.
4. Height and weight: The weight of the boy is 9.5-14.6 kilograms; The weight of the girl is 9-13.8 kilograms. The boy's height is 78.7-91.6 centimeters; The girl's height is 77.4-90.2 centimeters, and most of them have already grown 16 baby teeth.
The above are some developmental indicators for babies at 20 months old. They should start speaking, stand up and pick up things, and their memory will gradually improve. They need to further strengthen their nutrition. At this time, they can eat complementary foods, such as milk powder, to ensure a daily intake of protein.
