The ideal is "for the mother is rigid", the reality is for the mother is panicked:
"Sorrow! My girlfriend was said to be thin as soon as she went out, was she stunted? ”
"The grandson of the old Zhang family next door is looking high again!" Why hasn't my baby grown up a little in these two months? ”
……
It seems that as long as the baby is not as good as other people's children, it is "not well developed".
To be honest, Xiaobian feels that the baby is a bit wronged.
Whether the baby is developing well or not is not up to us!
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >01 is a misreading of growth and development</h1>
Parents are prone to two misguided notions, and unfortunately, my mom took it all:
The first is to take other people's children as benchmarks;
△ It seems that there is only one kind of good in the world, that is, "better than others"
The second is the fear that the child will lose at the starting line.
These two kinds of psychology, it is easy for parents to "feel that it is not enough" when facing the growth and development of their children (because the reference has been changing and changing).
It is not denied that in the process of children's growth and development, "than" is the norm.
But the key depends on how to compare.
Instead of being trapped in the whirlpool of comparison with others, it is better to be firm on wa's own track.
The best criterion is to look at the growth curve.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02 Would you look at the growth curve? </h1>
Look at the two most important points of the growth curve: choose the right growth curve and use the growth curve correctly!
1 Choose the right growth graph!
The most commonly used is the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to give the reference standard, the US CdC recommends: 0-24 months refer to who, after 2 years of age refer to cdc.
*Method to obtain WHO and CDC growth curve charts: Follow the [Cui Yutao Yu Gakuen] WeChat public account, reply to "Growth Curve", you can download and print.
2 Use the growth graph correctly!
Don't learn the negative teaching material of Man Dad, see that Xiao Man's height is lower than the average on the growth curve, and immediately worry: Xiao Man is short? Will it be stunted? Such a good gene can't do it, right? This (growth curve) table is definitely not right!
Debunking the rumors, right now:
In fact, the correct way to use the growth curve table is:
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >03 control growth curve, how to judge whether the baby development is normal? </h1>
Record the past and present growth and development of the baby, and compare the growth and development curve to assess the baby's development.
Too abstract?
Let's take the WHO weight (WEIGHT part) curve of a girl aged 0-24 months as an example:
First look at the 2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, 98% lines, the middle of the line marked 50% is also called the 50th percentile.
What it means is that 50% of all children exceed this median value, and 50% are below the average.
However, this does not mean that less than 50% of children are not developing normally.
The growth curve is located between the 2nd and 98th percentiles and is in the normal range.
Of course, falling out of 2% or 98% higher is a different matter.
In general, these 6 conditions are normal for babies:
Note: It is not normal for the growth and development curve to rise and fall.
If the child's growth suddenly deviates significantly from his original growth curve track, whether it is a big rise or a big fall, it is unhealthy, and it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately!
Not sure if you learned to use it?
Don't worry, below, let's test it through the weight chart of several babies to see if you can answer a few questions correctly (if you don't answer correctly, collect it and study it a few times):
1. The baby's growth curve is close to the 50th percentile and grows slowly:
2, A treasure growth curve extends the 75th centile line slowly rising:
The B treasure growth curve extends the 25th centile line to rise slowly and steadily:
View the answers
▼
A and B are normal!
Whether the baby is in the high or low position in the curve,
As long as the overall trend is parallel to the reference curve, it is normal!
3. Premature baby C, the starting weight is in the 25th percentile, and after careful care, it slowly reaches the vicinity of the 50th percentile, and then maintains a normal development rate.
Overweight baby D, about 1 year old due to the development of large exercise + "weight loss", weight loss is obvious, after a uniform rate of growth.
4. The baby's initial weight increases in the 75th percentile, the weight decreases significantly at 4-5 months of age, and the weight decreases to the 25th percentile at 9 months of age
The growth curve is not normal!
The baby's development curve in the figure starts from a high starting point,
But sudden weight loss at 6 months,
And significantly deviated from his original growth curve position,
is not normal, need to be healed immediately!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >04 how to draw the growth curve yourself</h1>
If you just draw curves, it's simple.
It is to put the measurement data of different periods in the corresponding position, corresponding to the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the reference curve table, and the intersection point can be connected (you can also download the Yu gakuen app, upload the measurement data, and the system will help you evaluate).
The key is: how to measure accurately!
1 How to measure height
It is best to prepare a measuring board, and when measuring, let the child's legs straighten to measure the length from the head to the soles of the feet.
(If there is really no tailor-made board, let the baby's head stick to the head of the bed, and the sole of the foot can also rely on a baffle)
Generally speaking, the amount of lying down will be 0.7 cm higher than the amount of standing, which data should be based on?
Remember a conclusion: the amount of lying down before the age of 2, and the amount of standing after the age of 2.
What if I didn't follow this principle before?
Before the age of 2, the amount of standing is +0.7cm; after the age of 2, the amount of lying down is reduced by 7cm.
Measurement frequency recommendations:
0-6 months monthly measurement
6 to 12 months, measured every 2-3 months
After 12 months, measure every 3 months
2 How to measure weight
When measuring weight, the following points are mainly paid attention to:
Frequently asked questions about baby height Q&A
Q: Is it helpful for children to be short, drink more milk and exercise more to grow tall?
A: Drink more milk, exercise more, sleep more, the promotion effect on height is limited.
Genes are the most important factor in determining height. If a child lags behind his peers a lot, it may have nothing to do with calcium supplementation, exercise, and sleep.
However, calcium deficiency in children during the growing period does affect height. If your child has been diagnosed with short stature, calcium supplementation alone is useless. In the same way, the same is true of sports. Helps to grow taller, but does not have a therapeutic effect.
Q: Are heighteners and heighteners useful? Can growth hormone work?
A: Do not blindly use any heightening products. Currently internationally recognized and the only effective is growth hormone, but this should be used strictly in accordance with medical advice.
Q: The parents are very tall but the baby is low in height, is there really a "23, sneak" situation?
A: May exist. This type of child belongs to the late molding of the large instrument.
Medically, it is called: constitutional growth and development delay. That is, the parents are normal in height, but the child's growth rate is slightly slower, and the general boy will accelerate the growth rate after the age of 16 and the girl after the age of 14.
Usually do not need treatment, rest assured to wait for the baby to grow and develop naturally. However, a doctor should be consulted to evaluate the diagnosis to rule out growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, and other disorders.
Then again, in this world, it's really hard to find a mom who isn't anxious.
Even if you're not anxious, there are always some people who force you to fight:
"Your baby is so skinny, I can't hold my family when I'm as big as yours!"
"Your baby is only 94cm?" The grandson of the old Li family is younger than him, and they have reached 100cm! ”
I hope that today's article will make you calm in the future like a sweeper.
You are strong and you are strong, and we grow slowly.
