What is the development standard for a baby at one year and eight months old?

Babies are the confidants of us parents, and the development of babies is of great concern to every one of us parents. So when our baby is one year and eight months old, the baby's development standard has a certain range, and only within this range is the development normal. So do you know what the development standard of a baby at one year and eight months old is? Let's take a look below.

At 8 months, the baby's development indicators are as follows: weight: 7.23-11.29kg for boys and 6.79-10.51kg for girls; height: 66.3-76.3cm for boys and 64.8-74.7cm for girls; head circumference: 45.1±1.3cm for boys and 41.2-46.3cm for girls; average chest circumference: 44.9cm for boys and 43.7cm for girls; anterior fontanelle: 1×2cm; 2 to 4 teeth.

1. The baby gets up more often to urinate at night: The baby rarely gets up to feed at night now, and most of the time he wants to urinate. This is not frequent urination, but the baby is preparing to not wet the bed.

2. Physiological diarrhea almost disappears: Most babies are already able to accept complementary foods, the intestinal flora is becoming increasingly stable, and physiological diarrhea almost disappears.

3. Be careful of calcium poisoning: It is almost impossible for babies nowadays to be calcium deficient, and parents are very aware of calcium supplementation. Here we want to remind you that excessive calcium supplementation will damage brain and kidney tissues and cause irreversible damage. It will be too late to regret it then.

4. If the amount of breast milk gradually decreases, reduce the number of breastfeeding times: try to feed your baby in the early morning, before bedtime, and at night. If you don't have much milk, don't let your baby suck on the nipple all the time, so as to avoid nipple attachment in the future and difficulty in weaning.

5. Key points of spring care in all seasons: In spring, everything comes back to life, and bacteria and viruses become active. Babies are prone to colds, rashes, diarrhea, oral diseases, etc. The key point of care is to ensure that the baby gets enough sleep, has a balanced diet, and is not dehydrated. Pay attention to air quality during outdoor activities, and don't go out on windy days. Also, be careful not to come into contact with sick people.

6. Preventive immunization: There is no national immunization plan this month. You can listen to the advice of your community doctor for specific vaccination programs. If you haven't received the measles vaccine for over 8 months, you can get a booster shot this month.

Your baby is learning many new skills, which means he is embarking on a bumpy journey. Tensions are starting to build for mom, but you should try to relax, control your natural protective instincts, and let your child grow and learn on his own. To ensure a safe home environment for your baby, you can try this great method: identify places that may pose a danger to your baby from your baby's perspective. For example, make sure breakable items don't tip over and move unstable furniture to a room your baby won't frequent. In addition, keep the cords of curtains and sunshades out of the baby's reach, pad the sharp corners of the coffee table, install "locks" on the toilet seat, move dangerous indoor potted plants to high places, lock up cleaning products and medicines that may cause poisoning, cover electrical outlets, and install safety gates at the top and bottom of the stairs if you have one.

There are very clear regulations on the developmental standards for babies at one year and eight months old. When our babies develop to a certain period of time, we parents should regularly measure and examine our babies. Only in this way can we ensure that our babies develop normally. Having a healthy baby is the wish of every parent.
