The entire process of conception from pregnancy to the birth of the child is so difficult. From regular prenatal check ups during pregnancy to monthly physical examinations after the birth of the baby, some mothers are a little worried. What is the developmental standard for a one year old baby? Is it normal for a one year old baby to weigh 21 pounds? Below, we will popularize this knowledge for everyone.
1. If a one year old baby weighs 21 pounds, they may be slightly overweight. Sometimes, due to nutritional conditions, children may grow and develop faster, so the standard is not to exceed 30 pounds. If it exceeds 30 pounds, it is considered too obese.
2. The usual criteria for judging a baby's physical development are: a one year old male baby weighs between 16-19 pounds and has a height of 70-75 centimeters, while a one year old female baby weighs between 15-17 pounds and has a height of 69-72 centimeters. As long as the height and weight are within this range, it is normal. Of course, a weight of over one or two pounds is normal because each child's physical factors are different. As long as it is not too much, there is no need to worry.
Through the above introduction, I believe many mothers have gained some understanding. One year old babies can now add complementary foods. It is recommended that mothers add nutritious foods such as fish, meat, and fresh vegetables to their babies, as a diverse diet can supplement various nutrients and avoid calcium deficiency.
