What are the items in the physical examination for a three-month-old baby?

The development of babies is different at different stages. In order to ensure that their children meet the normal development indicators, mothers still need to take their children to the hospital for regular check-ups. So what are the physical examination items for three-month-old babies? Only when the baby's various physical development indicators are normal can the child's health be guaranteed. I hope mothers can pay more attention to this.

Measure height and weight. Weight: an important indicator that reflects the baby’s recent nutritional status and evaluates growth and development. Height: The most appropriate indicator reflecting the baby’s long-term nutritional status and bone development. Boys are 62.1-66.9cm tall and weigh 6.56-8.16kg; girls are 60.8-65.4cm tall and weigh 6.03-7.53kg.

Head circumference reflects the baby's brain and skull development, brain capacity, and is also an important indicator for evaluating the baby's growth and development. Male: 40.8-43.2cm, Female: 39.7-42.1cm. Vision: check your baby's vision development and see if there are any abnormalities. The head can turn in the direction of sound and the eyes can follow moving objects.

Hearing: check your baby’s hearing development and see if there are any abnormalities. Listen attentively and are particularly interested in people's conversations. Motor development, check whether the baby's motor development is normal. When lying prone, you can lift your head and make it 90 degrees with your shoulder blades. The legs can support the body when standing up. Blood test to evaluate for anemia. Anemia is when hemoglobin (Hb) <90g/L at 1-4 months and Hb <100g/L at 4-6 months. Bone strength measurement: A test to evaluate the calcium content in the baby's bones, which can provide a relatively intuitive and accurate understanding of whether the baby is calcium deficient.

Evaluation of developmental intelligence: Generally, a three-month-old baby can turn over on his own initiative, raise his head to 90 degrees and lift his chest when lying on his stomach, cooperate well with the doctor when pulling himself to sit, can hold his head upright well, has an active grasping consciousness, can follow pictures or toys up to 180 degrees, turn his head to look for the source of a sound when he hears it, make sounds when he is amused, and can occasionally make "b, p, m" sounds. The doctor will test the baby's neurobehavioral abilities through the above-mentioned aspects. If any problems arise, a further Gesell intelligence test can be conducted to make a comprehensive assessment of the baby's intellectual development.

The above text clearly states what the physical examination items for a three-month-old baby include. The child's developmental condition cannot be neglected at all. What's more, the child is still very young and all aspects of the body are in the development stage. Sufficient nutrition must be supplemented. Exclusive breastfeeding is a must, and the intake of various vitamins and calcium must also be guaranteed.
