Eight-month-old baby head circumference standard

Generally, children can express themselves in different ways at different stages of their growth and development. Generally, they will roll over and crawl before walking. When the baby is eight months old, they have generally learned to crawl. As children grow up day by day, their head circumference, waist circumference, weight and height are constantly increasing. Many mothers will be curious about whether there is a standard to judge whether their children are growing and developing healthily. Below we will give you a detailed introduction to the head circumference standards for eight-month-old babies.

In the baby's eight-month development standard, the baby's weight, height and head circumference will grow slower. In terms of weight: when the baby is seven months old, the weight of the baby boy is about 6.4 to 10.3 kg; the weight of the baby girl is about 5.9 to 9.6 kg. Height at that time: boys are 64.1-74.8 cm; girls are 62.2-72.9 cm. The head circumference of a boy is about 45.0 cm; the head circumference of a girl is 43.8 cm. 2-4 primary teeth begin to grow. Weight: An eight-month-old baby should gain about 0.22 to 0.37 kg. The baby's height can increase by 1.0 to 1.5 cm this month. The growth of head circumference will slow down, but the fontanelle will not change significantly.

An eight-month-old baby can already sit very steadily and can sit up without support. He is very stable and can play while sitting and can also turn his body. The baby can turn over at will and will start crawling at this time. Once his limbs are coordinated, he can crawl and can lift his head, neck, chest and abdomen to crawl off the bed. The development of a baby's abilities mainly refers to the comprehensive development of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, language, emotions, and social skills. It's just that the focus is slightly different for each baby at each age, which is also related to the baby's own developmental characteristics. The basic skills of an 8-month-old baby include:

1. Skills that should be mastered (most babies can do it): Call their parents "Mom" and "Dad" (but may not be able to tell who is who); be able to pass objects from one hand to another.

2. Developing abilities (half of the babies can do this): can stand with the help of something; can crawl; can point at things; can find hidden objects.

3. Advanced abilities (only a few babies can do this): can stand up by pulling things and walk a few steps; can pinch objects with the thumb and index finger; can use gestures to indicate what they want.
