Doctor's answer:
The standard weight and height for a 3-year-old boy are 13.0-16.4Kg and 91.1-98.7cm, respectively. At 3 years old, a child's deciduous teeth have fully erupted, significantly improving their chewing ability, and the variety and cooking methods of food gradually approach those of adults. However, the digestive system is still not fully developed. Additionally, due to rapid growth, the demand for calories and nutrients is high. When planning your child's daily diet, pay attention to the diversity of food choices, including a balance of coarse and fine grains, main and side dishes, meat and vegetables, dry and wet foods, and sweet and savory options. A five-meal-a-day schedule should be followed, with foods such as milk, eggs, soy products, fresh fruits and vegetables or fruit puree, meat puree, and pig liver porridge, all of which are excellent sources of digestible nutrients.
