What is the growth standard for an eight-month-old baby?

In 2015, many people born in the 1990s have become parents for the first time. As they and their parents are mostly only children and have lived in a single environment since childhood, it is inevitable that they are at a loss as they don’t know what the growth standards for their children are. A few days ago, a netizen told the editor that her child is 8 months old, but she always feels that the child is not as agile or as big as other people’s children. Today I am here to answer this question for her and talk about the growth standards for eight-month-old babies.

Boys: height 63.9-78.9cm; weight 6.46-12.60kg; head circumference 41.0-48.9cm.

Baby girl: height 62.5-77.3cm; weight 6.13-11.80kg; head circumference 40.1-47.7cm.

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. However, 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:

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.

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

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.

At this time, the baby's digestive enzymes can fully digest protein. The required protein content is 2.3g per kilogram of body weight per day. You can feed your baby more protein-containing dairy products, soy products, fish, etc.

Protein: milk paste, egg yolk paste, egg custard, and fish paste.

Cereals and other carbohydrates: oatmeal, rice flakes, porridge, noodles.

The growth standard for an eight-month-old baby is as follows, but there are exceptions for some babies, who may have problems such as being too small or too large. The cause of such problems may be related to genetic genes, such as the height of their parents, or it may be related to the mother's living environment and dietary environment during pregnancy, and it may also be related to the living environment and habits of the newborn. If the possibility of genetic genes is ruled out, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination.
