2-year-old boy's height and weight

During the baby's growth process, parents will pay special attention to everything about the baby, especially the baby's height and weight. There are some standards for height and weight for babies of different age groups. Parents can compare according to the baby's age. Of course, parents must first understand the height and weight of their baby at different ages, so that they will know how their baby is developing.

2-year-old boy's height and weight

1. Height

Height, length and weight are the most important indicators to measure children's physical development. Height is the sum of the length of the head, neck, spine and lower limbs, and can reflect the state of physical development.

The normal height of a newborn is about 50 cm, and the height growth is fastest within the first year after birth. At 1 year old, the height is about 75 cm; at 2 years old, it reaches 85 cm. After the age of 2, the trunk grows about 5 cm each year.

Therefore, after the age of 2, the following formula can be used for calculation: height = age X5 + 75 cm.

2. Weight

Weight is the most easily obtained indicator of physical development and nutritional status, and the rate of weight gain is related to age. A newborn weighs about 3000 grams at birth. The average weight gain in the first six months after birth is about 600 grams per month, and in the second half of the year is about 500 grams per month. It can reach 9 kg at the age of 1 year. It can increase to 12 kg at 2 years old. After the age of 2, the average weight gain is about 2 kg per year.

Therefore, the approximate weight before puberty can be calculated according to the following formula: age X2 + 8 = weight (kg).

NOTE: Regular weight measurement and ensuring adequate nutrition for rapid growth in children is an important health care task. We adhere to the "4-2-1" physical examination system for preschool children: once every three months for children under one year old, once every six months for children between one and three years old, and once a year for children between three and seven years old.

What should children supplement to grow taller?

There are many factors that affect a child's physical growth. In addition to congenital genetics, the supply of various nutrients has a great impact on a child's height. Therefore, proper supplementation of various nutrients can also help the baby's physical development.

1. Adequate supply of calcium

Foods rich in calcium include sesame, day lily, mustard greens, fish, snails, dried shrimps, etc. as well as pork ribs soup, bone soup and fish soup. These soups are not only rich in calcium, but also help the body absorb calcium.

2. Take more vitamin C

There are two ways to supplement vitamin C: one is to take vitamin C tablets, and the other is to try to eat more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C, such as citrus, apples, tomatoes, radishes, etc.

3. Eat more foods containing natural sugars

You can supplement your child with calories and nutrients by giving him or her snacks. The appropriate time for snacks is 10-11 a.m. and 3-5 p.m. Snacks can be peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, chestnuts, persimmons, raisins, candied fruits, etc. You can also feed foods containing natural sugars such as honey water.

4. Eat more foods rich in plant fats

Fat can not only nourish the whole body and make people look radiant, but also be converted into heat during metabolism for children to use in activities. Ways to provide plant fat: First, add more vegetable oil to dishes or staple foods, but do not eat too much fried food; second, eat snacks rich in plant fat, such as peanuts, walnut kernels, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, melon seeds, soybeans, etc.
