Just promoted to parents, what do you care about most? I am a mother for the first time. In the first month of my baby's life, I am most concerned about whether the baby is healthy, whether it sleeps well, whether it is full, whether it is fat and whether it is tall. I think this is also the concern of novice parents.
Full moon babies gain weight.
Weight is an important indicator of growth and development. At birth, the average weight of a baby boy is about 3.3 kg, and that of a baby girl is about 3.2 kg. A smoothly growing baby gains more than 30 grams of weight every day. According to the survey data of children's sports development in China, the normal full-term baby's weight gain in the first month can reach 1- 1.7kg. If the baby's weight gain in one week is 125g, and the weight gain in the full moon is more than 600g, parents can rest assured.
The law of infant weight gain
In the first three months after the baby is born, the average monthly weight gain is1~1.1kg; 3~6 months, the average monthly weight gain is 0.5~0.6 kg; 6~ 12 months, with an average monthly gain of 0.25~0.3 kg. Of course, we can refer to these formulas to judge whether the baby's weight gain at all ages is ideal:
Infant weight measurement method
Parents regularly measure the baby's weight at home, which helps to better understand the baby's growth and development. These methods are as follows:
Tips: There are individual differences among different babies, and there are also differences in weight gain. However, if the baby's weight gain is not ideal, parents must find out the reason as soon as possible to see if it is improper feeding, insufficient milk, or the baby is sick.
Height is also an important indicator reflecting the growth and development speed of babies. The average height of a newborn is about 50.5 cm, and that of a baby girl is about 49.9 cm. At the full moon, the baby's height also increased by an average of 3~4 cm, and some babies even grew by 6~8 cm a month. Take the baby for baby care after the full moon. 50 cm at birth, 56 cm at full moon, growing fast. How much does the baby's height increase after the full moon? (Attached with the reference table of baby's height growth at 1 to 12 months)
Measurement method of infant height
Height is the main index of children's bone development. Parents can regularly measure the baby's height at home to see if the growth is within the standard. We can measure it by the following methods:
What should I do if my baby grows slowly?
The height of a baby is influenced by genetic, nutritional and environmental factors. Especially for 1~2 years old, insufficient nutrition intake has a great influence on body length. So, how to make the baby grow taller and faster? Parents should do the following four details.
We can know the daily milk quantity of the baby in different months: in the first few weeks, it was 1/5, in 2-4 months, 1/6, in 6 months, 1/7, and in 7- 12 months, 1.
According to this standard, the baby should breast-feed 500~800 ml every day after the full moon, and feed it 7~8 times a day. Each feeding time should be 10~ 15 minutes, and the milk quantity should be 80 ~125ml. A baby with a large appetite can eat 150~ 180 ml at a time, but it is best not to exceed 150 ml at this stage, otherwise it will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and digestive organs.
Although there is a very accurate daily milk demand, each baby has individual differences and cannot be completely scripted. According to the actual needs of the baby, decide the amount of feeding.
If the mother is not sure whether the baby is full, she can follow the following tips: as long as the baby eats, feed it; If you don't eat, stop. Don't put the pacifier in the baby's mouth repeatedly. If the nipple has been spit out, it means that the baby is full and can't feed any more.
Warm message from bookworm's mother:
Height and weight are two important indicators reflecting the growth and nutritional status of infants. Mom and dad can measure the baby regularly and continuously at home, which can not only better understand whether the baby's growth level and growth speed are normal, but also remind parents in time whether the method of feeding the baby is correct.
