Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter just turned one year old today, but she only weighs 17 jin, and her height I didn't measure, but it should be at the lowest indicator for her age. I'm very worried. As soon as I entered, everyone asked how many months old she is. Is this normal? She was born weighing exactly 6 jin. When I was breastfeeding 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 the baby turns one year old, their height is about 75 cm, 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 buy 500 milliliters of milk for the baby every day. If the baby is weaned before one year old, they should drink infant formula milk and gradually increase the amount of cow's milk they drink. Sleep time is between 10-11 hours, with two additional naps each day, lasting 1-2 hours each time.
