In order to measure whether the baby is growing and developing normally, or whether each meal is full, parents will be more concerned about the height and weight of the baby during the growth and development period, because if the baby does not absorb nutrients well or eats too much, it is easy to reflect on their weight. What is the normal weight for a 20 month old baby?
Each baby's growth environment is different, and the way they supplement nutrients or exercise can cause differences in weight. So there is only a rough range for the standard of weight. According to normal standards, a 20 month old female baby should weigh around 15 pounds and not less than 10 pounds is considered normal. And the weight of male babies will be 2-5 pounds higher than that of female babies of the same age, and the weight measured by babies on an empty stomach and after eating will also be different.
A 20 month old baby is already over a year and a half old, so how can parents raise their baby at this time?
1. Cultivate babies' language abilities
20 months is the explosive period for babies to learn language, because at this time babies can already speak, their vocabulary will grow rapidly, and their learning ability will be relatively strong. Therefore, parents need to correct their babies' "baby language" and can teach them to connect words into sentences normally.
2. Cultivate babies' cognitive abilities
20 months is also the age when babies need to gradually learn various life knowledge. Mothers can prepare some small cards or early education toys to teach babies how to learn, such as colors, numbers, and so on.
3. Cultivate the personality of the baby
At this stage, babies will also have a stronger sense of self-awareness, begin to imitate their parents, and may also have some sensitivity. So parents should not scold their babies arbitrarily or indulge them too much when educating them. They should find the right methods.
