Patient's question:
My baby is three months old. During the check-up, the anterior fontanel was only 0.5 cm, the head circumference was 39 cm, the weight was 12 jin, and the height was 60 cm. Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
A full-term newborn baby has a head circumference of 34 cm, a weight of 6 kilograms, and a height of 50 cm at birth. Three months later, the head circumference increases by 8 cm, the weight grows by 6 kilograms, and the height increases by about 10 cm. The baby's current height, weight, and head circumference are all within the normal range, so there is no need to worry. Feed the baby reasonably, have regular check-ups, pay attention to supplementing with fish oil, and get plenty of sunlight to promote calcium absorption.
