After the baby is born, every little progress made by the child will make the new parents very happy. From raising your head 6 months ago, turning your head, turning over to climbing, standing, and slowly walking... These are all growing.
"Growth" and "development" belong to two concepts. Height and weight belong to the category of "growth". As the saying goes, "three turns, six sits, and eight climbs" abilities belong to "development".
Many novice parents are confused about the growth and development of their babies. They always compare their children with babies of the same age, for fear that their children will lose at the starting line. Parents often ask, "The child is almost 1 year old and he will not leave, but other people will leave after 10 months..." "My father and I are not too tall, will it drag the baby down..."
In response to the confusion of new parents, the editor has compiled a comparison table for the growth and development of babies aged 0-3, which you can refer to.
In fact, children's growth itself is not uniform, and it is normal for occasional fluctuations. As long as the overall trend is growing, parents don't have to worry too much. Babies over 6 months old can add foods with high zinc content to complementary foods to help their babies grow up healthily ~
3 methods to promote baby growth and development
1. Ensure sufficient nutrition
Breast-fed babies should pay attention to the milk not being too thick (not easy to absorb) or too thin (not enough nutrition);
Baby drinking formula milk should pay more attention to the milk ratio, and observe whether allergies or lactose intolerance occurs;
6-month-old babies start to add complementary foods, consume foods with high zinc content, and the ingredients gradually go from single to diverse.
2. Ensure that the baby has enough sleep
9-11 points are a period when growth hormone is strong secretion. Sleeping too late will affect the baby's growth and development.
3. Do more outdoor activities
In good weather, you can take your baby out to bask in the sun and exercise outdoors.
Baby Growth [Zinc] Power
Zinc is an important element of brain cell growth. It can promote the development of the baby's brain and body, help concentrate and improve memory.
The baby's zinc deficiency can lead to slow growth and development, slow reaction, and inattention.
When will I start supplementing?❓
6 months ago, babies can obtain enough zinc from breast milk or formula milk, and generally do not need additional supplements; after
6 months, more than 75% of zinc needs to be consumed from complementary foods. Babies who are picky in food can choose nutritional supplements if necessary.
