How tall is a one-year-old baby to be considered normal? Pay attention to baby's height development, don't miss the golden period of growing taller!

My friend's baby is over one year old. I went for a physical examination two days ago. The height is 74cm. My friend is worried. Most of the other one-year-old babies in the community are over 75. I wonder if my baby is a bit short.

After the baby is born, the growth rate is amazing! Generally, babies under 3 years old can grow about 7cm tall every year! From the age of 3 to puberty, they can grow 4 to 5 cm taller each year.

In such a period of rapid growth, mom and dad may worry about whether their babies are taller or shorter than their peers?

According to the "Reference Standards for Growth and Development of Children under 7 Years Old in China" issued by the National Health Commission, the following is the standard table for the height (length) of each month of the baby.

Parents can judge the growth of the baby by comparing the table!

How to read the form?

First find the baby's corresponding age and month in the male treasure or female treasure table, and then look at the range of the baby's height horizontally.

As long as the baby's height is between -2SD and +2SD, it is normal.

If the height is less than -2SD, the baby is growing slowly; if the height is greater than +2SD, the baby is growing a bit faster.

Take the situation of a friend's house for example:

The length of a 1-year-old girl is 74cm, is it normal?

Compared with the female treasure table, her height (length) is between the median and +1SD [72.3﹤74﹤75], and her height (length) is within the normal range.

The child is not tall enough. Pay attention to these 4 points.

Although the height of the baby is genetically important, the acquired factors cannot be ignored. Note that these 4 points can help your baby grow taller!

1, sleep

Insufficient sleep will affect the secretion of growth hormone. Night is the most vigorous time for growth hormone secretion.

Parents must ensure that the baby has regular and adequate sleep.

2, nutrition

Diet pay attention to the nutritional collocation to be comprehensive and balanced, to ensure adequate intake of calcium, protein, trace elements and other nutrients.

Breastfeeding babies should be breastfed for at least 6 months. In addition, they should also be supplemented with vitamin AD drops. It is best to take one pill a day until 2 years old to prevent rickets.

3, exercise

Reasonable exercise can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, promote the formation and development of bones, and also increase appetite and improve sleep.

4, Psychology

Many children with psychological and mental stress will reduce the secretion of growth hormone in their bodies, which will affect their height.

Parents should help their children eliminate negative emotions, encourage and accompany their children.
