Why hasn't a baby who is over 1 year old grown for half a year?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

At the age of 13 to 18 months, from the second year of birth, the physical growth of babies begins to slow down compared to the previous period. The average monthly weight gain is about 200 grams, and the average monthly height increase is approximately 1.0 centimeter. Starting from the second year, the chest circumference of the baby begins to exceed the head circumference, and the anterior fontanel usually closes before the age of 18 months.
The standard for 18 months is: weight of 11.01 kg, height of 82.5 cm. If there is some deviation in the baby's weight, there is no need to worry too much. Pay attention to a balanced diet, ensure adequate rest, engage in appropriate exercise, and avoid picky eating. If you are still concerned, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is a deficiency in any trace elements.
