Patient's question:
What is the standard table for the height and weight of newborns? The question about the standard table for the height and weight of newborns is quite troublesome: Doctor, my child is quite thin and short, and I don't know if it's abnormal. Could you provide me with the standard table for my baby's height and weight at three and a half years old?Doctor's answer:
Newborn boys are 48.7 to 61.2 cm tall and weigh 3.09 to 6.33 kilograms, while girls are 47.9 to 59.9 cm tall and weigh 2.98 to 6.05 kilograms. The rate of weight gain is fastest in the first month of life, reaching 1 to 1.7 kilograms. Weight is the easiest-to-measure indicator and also the most reflective of a child's growth and nutritional status. Height increases at a rate of 4 to 5 cm. Height is influenced by many factors, and short-term illnesses and fluctuations in nutrition do not affect height growth.
