Height standard for babies between two and three years old

I believe that the baby's physical health is the issue that everyone is most concerned about. Everyone wants to know whether the baby is growing strong and whether the height and weight are within the normal range. You may also want to know what to do if your baby's height is not within the normal range and is relatively short? Well, today I will explain to you the height standard for two to three-year-old babies and how to solve the problem of short stature.

27 months 80.5-102.5 79.3-101.2

30 months 82.4-105.0 81.4-103.8

Solutions to babies with short stature

Method 1: 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.

Method 2: Adopt correct feeding and care methods

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.

Method 3: Eat some foods that are good for growing taller

1. Spinach: Spinach is rich in iron and calcium. Many babies may not like to eat it, so you can try chopping the spinach and adding it to other complementary foods. Spinach contains oxalic acid, which affects the absorption of calcium, so it should be blanched in boiling water before cooking.

2. Carrots: Rich in vitamin A, can help protein synthesis. Babies generally don’t like to eat whole carrots, so they can be made into different dishes. For example, if you don’t like carrot juice, you can make juice with apples to neutralize the taste of carrots. In addition, when cooking chicken, pork, or beef, you can cut the carrots into thin strips and stir-fry them together. This not only adds seasoning but also makes it more nutritious.

3. Eggs: Especially egg whites are rich in protein, which is very beneficial to children's growth. Some mothers worry that the cholesterol in egg yolks is bad for their children, but children in their growing years do not need to worry about cholesterol levels. It is more appropriate to eat one egg a day or one egg every two days.

4. Black soybeans: Soybeans are recognized as high-protein food, among which black soybeans have a higher protein content and are a good food that is beneficial to growth. You can add it when cooking rice, or grind it into soy milk to drink.
