Nowadays, the health of the baby has become the most concerning issue for the whole family. To know if the baby is developing well or not, you can actually calculate the baby's height and weight, and then compare it with the corresponding month's baby body weight standard. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the newborn's weight and height standard.
The normal weight of newborns is 2.5-4.0 kilograms. The baby's weight increases most rapidly in the first three months of life, with an increase of approximately 750-900 grams per month; In the first six months, the average monthly increase was about 600 grams; At the age of one, one's weight is approximately three times their birth weight. The weight of a healthy baby should not increase or decrease beyond normal weight. If it exceeds normal weight, it may be obesity. When it is below the average index, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by malnutrition or other reasons. You can go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
The length of a baby is during the first three months after birth, with an average length of 3-3.5 centimeters per month, and may increase to half a body length by the age of one. Babies grow the fastest within one year old, and if nutrition is not adequate, it can delay their growth and make it difficult for them to catch up with their peers.
At the same time, parents should also pay attention to the growth of newborn head circumference, which can indicate the size of the baby's brain development and skull development. When measuring head circumference, a soft ruler must be used to wrap around the back of the baby's head and in front of the forehead.
