The little dragon family child is born! A big fat guy, seven pounds and four twos. But she was not very happy, I thought she preferred sons to daughters, and the reason was that when my child was born, she was eight and a half pounds, and her girl was seven pounds and four pounds, and she was worried about her girl's physical health problems. This idea is very strange and redundant.
Because by measuring whether a child is healthy or not? It doesn't matter much to say how many pounds he had when he was born. As long as our baby has the following four characteristics after birth, it means that this little guy lives in her mother's belly, which is called a moisturizing, healthy development, and there must be no problem.
First, the cry is loud
Ask the doctor, or ask the child's mother, is the cry loud enough at the moment the child is born? Isn't it particularly emboldened? If the answer is like this, it means that our baby is healthy and really has no problem, at least it can show that the child is strong and has a particularly good lung development.
But if we play crying, the voice is loud, the sound is particularly loud, it seems particularly weak, in fact, there is no need to say so, the doctor will tell you whether this child needs us to be extra careful and serious in the process of parenting.
In general, premature babies will have a weaker crying voice. And some children who have problems with their developmental health after birth do not even cry. And those born after 37 weeks, the health is generally fine, and their cries will be quite loud.
Second, the weight standard
In fact, in terms of weight, as long as the child's weight at birth is up to standard, there is no problem. From a scientific point of view, the weight of premature babies will generally be relatively light, about four or five pounds of children at birth, even if it is a relatively light weight parents, in the process of parenting, it is necessary to pay great attention to, if necessary, the doctor will recommend that parents put the child in the incubator for a period of time, in order to let the parents carry home.
But if the child is full-term when he is born, and the weight can reach about 5.2-7.6 pounds, it means that our baby belongs to the category of healthy weight.
The important tip here is that the weight of the child is particularly heavy, not necessarily a good thing, for example, some children's weight has reached the standard of huge baby weight, such as my son's eight and a half pounds, which belongs to the huge baby.
Under normal circumstances, doctors will think that children over eight pounds belong to the category of huge babies, and most of these children are related to overnutrition, so don't envy other people's children, the weight is too heavy.
Third, the hands and feet are strong
There is another situation that can also help us measure whether the newborn is healthy, that is, to see the strength of the baby's hands and feet. Some newborns have hand strength that is enigmatically large. For example, when my son was born, she grabbed my fingers with her little fists, making me feel that my fingers were difficult to pull out. This shows that when our baby is in the mother's belly, the nutritional intake is quite good and energetic.
In short, as long as our baby meets the above characteristics, it means that the child's physical health and development is no problem, as a parent, we should not worry too much.
