When does the baby secrete growth hormone?

It is a well-known fact that if a child is particularly short, it will have a certain negative impact on the child's future career and marriage. Especially for men, if they are short, they can easily be looked down upon. If you want your child to be taller, you should understand the secretion time of your baby's growth hormone so that you can take measures to compensate for it. Let's take a look at how the baby's growth hormone is secreted.

Growth hormone secretion time

If you want to grow taller, you must first understand "growth hormone". This hormone is not secreted during the day, but mainly secreted at night. The more growth hormone the human body secretes, the easier it is to grow taller. According to scientists' research, the peak period of growth hormone secretion is from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. If you miss this period, it will be difficult to make up for it. The pituitary gland helps the human body secrete multiple hormones, growth hormone is just one of them, so it is impossible for it to be secreted every minute, but it is concentrated in the night time period.

This secretion rule does not apply to infants. Because the baby's pituitary gland is constantly secreting during the day and at night, parents will feel that babies aged 0-1 year old develop particularly rapidly. However, when the baby reaches infancy, the amount of secretion during the day decreases and gradually concentrates at night. Mothers should pay special attention to two time periods: one is from 21:00 to 1:00, especially after 22:00, when the secretion of growth hormone reaches its peak, which is about 6 times that of daytime. Second, 5-7 am is also a small climax, so it is important to let the baby continue to sleep.

So will growth hormone be secreted in large quantities at 21:00? Obviously not. The prerequisite is that the baby must be in deep sleep. Therefore, if the baby does not fall asleep during this period or only enters a light sleep, very little growth hormone will be secreted. The later a child goes to bed, the less growth hormone he or she will secrete, and the shorter he or she will be. However, the human body usually takes 30-60 minutes to enter deep sleep after falling asleep. Experts suggest that if you want your child to grow taller, you should put your child to bed before 20:30, no later than 21:30, and wake up your child at 7:00 in the morning.
