According to a recent survey, many newborns now have a common problem, that is, the baby's height and weight are not within the normal range. Some babies exceed this range, while some babies are below this standard. So what standard is normal? The following is a detailed answer to the question of baby height and weight standards, I hope it can help you. Calculation method of standard baby height and weight table Height and weight are important indicators to measure whether the growth and development of children is normal. The standard calculation formula for normal height and weight of children is introduced as follows: Standard measurement formula for infant weight: Weight at 1-6 months (kg) = birth weight (or 3 kg) + age in months × 0.6 (kg) Weight from 7 to 12 months (kg) = birth weight (or 3 kg) + age in months × 0.5 (kg) 2-10 years old weight (kg) = age × 2 + 7 (or 8) Standard growth rules for infants and young children's height: The average height of a full-term baby is 50 cm. It increases by about 25 cm in the first year after birth, so it is about 75 cm at one year old. Thereafter, it increases by an average of about 5 cm each year. Therefore, the height (cm) of a child aged 2-12 years old = age × 5 + 75 (cm). Anyone whose height exceeds the standard by 10% or is less than 10% is considered abnormal. Stature is the sum of the head, spine and lower limbs. It is an important indicator of bone growth, especially long bone growth. When the baby's nutrition cannot meet the needs of bone growth, the rate of height growth will slow down. Nutrients closely related to bone growth include vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus. Insufficient iodine and zinc can also cause babies to be short. This is the end of the article for our friends. In addition to being affected by these external factors, the baby's height and weight will also be affected by genetics. According to research, in terms of gender, boys are usually taller than girls of the same age, so new parents should not be too nervous. |
