The height of a baby reflects their health condition to a certain extent. Some mothers wonder if their baby's height has not reached the standard height when they are over one year old. In fact, the development of a baby's height is influenced by many factors, such as nutrition and sleep quality. So, what should we do if a one year old baby is not tall enough? Follow the editor below to learn more.
Firstly, the continuous growth of the baby's height is mainly due to the continuous growth of the epiphyseal cartilage. However, the growth of the epiphyseal cartilage is not only influenced by growth hormones, but also requires the absorption of sufficient nutrients. In addition, babies need sufficient vitamin D and calcium during their growth and development, which can help them eat more calcium rich foods such as milk, fish, shrimp, etc.
Secondly, as the saying goes, 'sleep well and grow well', and scientists have also found that babies only secrete a large amount of growth hormone when they have sufficient sleep, and the duration is also long. Therefore, only by ensuring that babies have enough sleep can they promote their height growth, and children should fall asleep before 10 pm at the latest.
Finally, exercise can also promote baby growth, so mothers should take their babies out to exercise more. This can promote the baby's metabolism, blood circulation, and better bone development, naturally allowing the baby to grow taller.
