Patient's question:
The baby will be 1.5 years old in three days. Compared to the children of the same age from the neighbors, it seems a bit smaller. Could you please tell me what the developmental indicators are for a 1.5-year-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the average height of a 1.5-year-old girl is around 77.9-84.0 cm, and the average weight is around 9.7-12.0 kg. The infant period is a critical time for children's growth and development. Weight and height are the most reflective indicators of a child's growth and development. If a child's height and weight are below average, it may indicate developmental abnormalities caused by malnutrition. It is necessary to check blood tests, liver function, and the secretion of growth hormone and thyroid hormones to determine the cause of slow growth. Nutritional supplementation should be strengthened, and outdoor activities should be encouraged to promote growth and development.
