What to do if your baby is underdeveloped

Baby developmental impairment is one of the more common phenomena, and during the baby's growth and development process, there are many factors that affect their growth. Some grow first and some grow later. Don’t assume that your baby has dwarfism just because he is shorter than other children of the same age. You should make a diagnosis based on a doctor’s diagnosis. Let’s talk about what to do if your baby has developmental problems.

After a clear diagnosis, babies with illnesses should be transferred directly to specialist clinics for treatment. After excluding various diseases, the following two points should be achieved for normal children and simply short babies:

Regular physical examinations to observe height growth rate

Follow-up should be conducted every 3 months within 1 year old and once every 6 months after 1 year old. If the baby's height growth rate is greater than 5 cm per year after 2 years old, dwarfism can be ruled out. Bone age should be reviewed once a year.

Proper feeding and care

For babies who are simply short, special attention should be paid to the following points during care: such as ensuring adequate sleep, strengthening physical exercise and outdoor sunlight exposure, etc., to promote their growth. At the same time, special attention should be paid to balanced nutrition, but you should not give your baby a large amount of supplements just because he is short, especially ginseng, royal jelly and other supplements for the elderly and women, because they may contain hormones, which may stimulate children to mature early and cause short stature.

The main cause of emotional blockage is that the functions of the hypothalamus and pituitary systems are inhibited by emotions, which in turn causes a decrease in the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Such children generally have restless sleep and lack a sense of security, and sometimes wake up from their dreams by shouting or crying. Children's growth hormone is only secreted vigorously during deep sleep and sound sleep. Therefore, for children who have restless sleep and are easily awakened, the secretion of growth hormone may be greatly inhibited. This is also one of the important reasons why children do not grow tall.

The above contents are detailed introductions on what to do if your baby has developmental problems. I hope you will find it helpful after reading it. Children should get some exercise in normal times. Milk is also rich in calcium and is a good food for promoting height. In addition to getting simple exercise, children should also drink some milk, which will help them grow taller.
