General information about growth index, height, weight from 0-5 years old

The physical development of infants and young children is considered to be extremely exciting with many surprising changes. You need to closely monitor your child's growth, both in weight and height, to recognize changes in your baby's needs and health.

Newborn: Average 50cm long, weighs 3.3kg. According to the US National Center for Health Statistics, boys 'head circumference is 34.3 cm and girls' head circumference is 33.8 cm.

Birth - 4 days old: The baby's weight decreases by 5 - 10% compared to the time of birth. The reason is that babies lose water and body fluids when they urinate and go out.

5 days - 3 months: During this period, on average, each day babies increase about 15 - 28g. Your baby will quickly gain birthweight after 2 weeks of age.

3 - 6 months: Every 2 weeks, your baby will increase to about 225g. At 6 months, the baby's weight will double that of when it was born.

7 - 12 months: Your  baby's weight will continue to increase about 500g / month. If your baby is breastfed, the baby's weight will increase less than this mark. During this period, your baby consumes a lot of calories because he starts to exercise more when he has learned to crawl, crawl, or even learn to walk. Before the baby turned 1 year old, the average height was about 72 - 76cm and weighed 3 times as much as at birth.

1 year old (  toddler's age): The baby's growth and development are not as fast as the previous period, but each month the weight can still increase to about 225g and height to about 1.2cm.

2 years: The baby will grow about 10cm taller and weigh about 2.5kg more than at 1 year old. At this time, pediatricians can make more accurate predictions about the height and weight of a child growing up.

3 - 4 years old (preschool age):  According to experts, this time the amount of fat on the child's body, particularly in the face, will be much reduced. At this time, the child's limbs are much more developed than the previous time, so the baby looks taller.

5 years and older:  From this age to puberty, the baby's height will develop very quickly. Girls will usually reach their maximum height about 2 years after their first menstrual period. Boys also gain height in adulthood by the age of 17.

6 factors affect the height-weight of the child

1. Genetic factors

When a child is born, the child receives the full range of genetic traits from the father and mother. The researchers found that genetic factors have a major impact on the growth and size of organs in the body.

They also conducted many studies and found that, blood type factors, excess body fat and parental weight also significantly affect the child's physical development. This research is published in the American Journal of Human Biology. However, you need to remember that the child's height is usually only affected by about 23% of genetic factors.

 2. Nutrition and habitat

Did you know, apart from genetics, height and weight also depends on many other factors. According to research by the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan, external environmental factors such as nutrition are very important to children's physical development. For example, malnutrition can slow physical development. It not only affects bone density and strength of teeth, body size, but also delays a child 's development during puberty and pre-puberty.

If provided with adequate nutrition, your baby can keep up with the development he should have achieved earlier. Therefore, you need to provide all the necessary nutrients for your child in each stage, especially calcium, so that your baby can improve height. In addition to nutrition, other environmental factors such as climate and environmental pollution also slow the physical development of children.

3. Chronic diseases

Chronic illnesses, serious disabilities or each surgery are also considered factors that have negative effects on the child's physical fitness. According to a study published in the famous American medical journal, National Medical Association Journal in January 2000, children with a history of serious medical conditions such as sickle cell anemia 8-19 years old are usually short, much lighter than healthy children. At the same time, the sexual or reproductive health development of adolescent children is disturbed and delayed.

4. Care, closeness of parents

Research at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (United States) shows that the care of both parents and non-related people (babysitters) is a big impact factor. to the physical and mental, behavioral, and emotional development of a child from birth through puberty.

5. Health of pregnant mothers during pregnancy and lactation

The health of pregnant women during pregnancy plays an important role in the development of the baby in the future. Research shows that pregnant mothers who experience stress often have the ability to affect mental health, intellectual development and especially slow the development of motor skills (the ability to control limbs) in young children. .

In addition, the mother's diet with essential nutrients such as iron, folic acid, calcium, and essential fatty acids such as DHA during lactation contributes to the development of good skeletal muscle and resistance. That helps children be healthy and less sick

6. Active exercise and sports practice

A fact that is easy to see in today's children is the state of inactivity and often stay up late. With the explosive development of technology, the image of children playing, running, kicking, kicking football has been less and less, instead of the images of little girls glued to the phone screen or television. . This greatly affects the development of the musculoskeletal system of the child and the nervous system. Therefore, you should encourage children to participate more in sports that increase height such as basketball, swimming, cycling, volleyball, rope skipping ...

For overweight children, being active also helps children get an ideal weight, limiting many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease in children. In addition, the fact that children stay up late also makes their sleep quality significantly affected. A deep and sufficient sleep helps to strengthen your baby's bone density and height.

The development of height, weight or fitness in children is a necessary condition for the health of the child, but it is still not enough. Besides the child's physical development, height and weight , do not forget to foster your child's mental life and brain health!
