Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter just turned one year old today, but she only weighs 17 jin, and her height is probably at the lowest indicator for her age. I'm very worried. As soon as I entered, everyone asked how many months old she was. Is this normal? She was born weighing exactly 6 jin. When I was breastfeeding her for three months, I couldn't control myself and ate a lot of cake and other junk food. I want to ask, is she developmentally delayed? Her appetite is also very small. Should I give her many supplements to promote growth?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your baby's weight and height do not exceed the standard values. When your baby turns one year old, their height is approximately 75cm, and their weight is about three times their birth weight, around 9 kilograms.If a one-year-old baby's height and weight exceed the standard, it is important to pay attention to digesting protein. You should provide your baby with 500 milliliters of milk daily. If you have weaned your baby before the age of one, they should drink infant formula milk and gradually increase the amount of cow's milk they consume.
Sleep time should be between 10 to 11 hours, with two additional naps each day, lasting 1 to 2 hours each time.
