The matter of fat beans checking their height tossed us for a month, and finally came to an end.
Although there are some hiccups in the process, there is finally no danger!
See:
"I never expected that I would toss with the hospital for a whole month!" Finally stopped! 》
After tossing, just a word: non-essential (the child should not be particularly abnormal), try not to go to the hospital to do any routine examinations if there is nothing to do, time-consuming, laborious, costly, not to mention, mainly labor, toss the child and toss himself to be afraid.
Of course, there is indeed an abnormality that does not meet the standard, and it should be checked as soon as possible.
If you don't know whether our baby's height is up to standard, you can refer to the latest growth standards released by the Health Commission.
Height standards for boys aged 1-7 years
Height standards for girls aged 1-7
PS: P in the table? The meaning is more than a few percent of the same age, for example: 6-year-old baby 126cm, corresponding to column P97 in the table, indicating that the baby has exceeded 97% of the country's children of the same age.
The standard of babies after the age of 7 can refer to the data in the "Evaluation of the Height Development Level of Children and Adolescents Aged 7~18" released in 2018.
I also excerpted and compiled a picture:
Boys aged 7-18 years
Girls aged 7-18
PS: This table can see whether our baby is tall or short compared to her peers.
The median in the table ("average stature" compared to peers) is the data axis.
Don't panic after reading your cousins, it doesn't matter if our baby deviates from the median value.
The height range between -2SD and +2SD is actually normal.
But to remind that the baby is not only short and too slow to pay attention to, it is too high before puberty and grows too fast, and it is also necessary to be vigilant about the possibility of precocious puberty.
Of course, this data is only taken from the national average, and there must be differences in the height of the baby in various regions, so you must compare with yourself to see if the growth rate is abnormal.
For children aged 2~4, the height growth is at least 5.5 cm per year;
For children aged 4~6, the height growth is at least 5.0 cm per year;
For children aged 6 ~ prepuberty, boys gain at least 4 cm in height per year and girls by at least 4.5 cm.
If you find an abnormality, you are not worried, of course, you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to check it well.
However, learn my lesson, after any test report comes out, don't care where you look abnormal, don't worry about it, wait for the doctor to interpret it, don't Baidu, scare yourself, wait patiently for the doctor to interpret.

We are all more concerned about the issue of whether we can supplement nutrients to grow taller, I have consulted a doctor, it is okay, but said that they do not sell it in the hospital, and need to buy it outside.
They also suggest that our parents start with the baby's personal living habits: go to bed early and sleep more! Eat more protein-rich things, eat more vegetables, do more tall exercise, maintain more than 40 minutes a day, go outdoors more, and bask in the sun to help vitamin D production and promote calcium absorption.
We have to lose weight first, review it in a few months, and if we still feel that growing taller is not ideal, then consider growth hormone intervention.
Seriously, I and Fat Bean Dad still have reservations about growth hormone overall, understand a circle, a few years later, hundreds of thousands of not to say, mainly long-term involving energy, side effects are not known.
We have not yet entered puberty, first work hard, strive for more natural length, and remove the factors that previously affected the growth and height, such as fat, such as not drinking water, not loving to sleep, taking advantage of the critical period of spring growth, facing the spring breeze to grow first.
These days, I am also a variety of counseling friends with long and high experience, doctors, and sports friends.
I also brushed a certain sound for several weeks, Xiao Moushu, took notes, summarized some small methods that looked reliable and landed, and prepared to take fat beans to practice!
Share it today, interested relatives can join together!
First of all, we must take advantage of the golden period of growth and height.
Although babies grow taller before their development stops, there are several ages or periods of the year when there is a period of rapid growth.
If our old mother grasps it well and uses force, the taller growth effect may double.
01 - Season
A WHO study confirms that for the Northern Hemisphere: from March to May, children grow the fastest, about 2-2.5 times faster than in other seasons.
02 - Growth stage
Before the age of 3: Especially in the first year of life, it can grow about 25cm, and the average annual growth is about 10cm for the next 2 years, and about 45cm in 3 years.
7-12 years old: basically grow about 5-8cm per year, and generally grow about 5~5.5cm per year before puberty.
12-18 years old: Puberty is the final sprint to grow taller, girls can grow 8-9cm per year, boys can grow 9-11cm per year, until the child's epiphysis is fully integrated.
The "golden period" is known, and the next step is exercise, sleep, and diet.

Exercise can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, which everyone knows. When exercising for 20-30 minutes, the secretion peaks.
Doctors recommend that fat beans try to exercise outdoors every day
40 minutes or more, because he still has the task of losing weight.
I have briefly summarized the sports suitable for different ages for your reference!
Before the age of 3: During this period, the baby's joints and lower limb muscles are not well developed, just do some simple exercise, simple outdoor walking, and running.
If you can't walk, you can also do baby exercises or massage touches, and passive exercise can also promote bone growth.
3-4 years old: You can choose coordinated sports, such as trampoline, climbing, riding balance bikes, slides, small area running, etc.
5-7 years old: You can choose ball, swimming, pull-ups, skipping rope and other multi-directional sports.
Over 8 years old: can be upgraded to sports with a certain intensity, such as cycling, running, ball games, etc.
10 major sports that are conducive to growing tall: running, skipping rope, basketball, touching height, swimming, frog jumping, leg raise, opening and closing jump, badminton, pull-ups.
In addition to choosing the right exercise method, the daily exercise period is also particular. Do targeted height exercises at the right time, the effect will be better.
For example: do jumping and touching exercises in the morning, and do ten minutes of stretching before going to bed.
The simplest way to jump and touch height is to jump rope, and everyone often takes the baby to jump.
But we may all jump wrong, not all the time, just jump for a long time.
In fact, the most effective booster is intermittent skipping rope.
How to do it, I roughly summarized:
1. Be sure to prepare a jump rope for our baby that is not easy to knot, and prepare a non-slip mat for sports at home, which not only protects the baby's joints but also soundproofs, and does not drink a lot of water or eat too much before jumping rope;
2. Before jumping rope, be sure to take our baby to warm up (especially when the temperature is low), mainly shoulders and neck, wrists, waist, ankles, etc., about 3 minutes can be, don't omit this step ha.
3. Jump rope in place 100-200 times (rest for 1 minute) + open and close 50 jumps; jump rope in place 100-200 times (rest for 1 minute) + crotch high-fives 50 times; Jump rope in place 100-200 times (rest for 1 minute) + 50 back kicks.
This is done to calculate one group, repeat 5-8 sets on it. (The amount of exercise can be adjusted according to the actual physical condition of our baby, to be gradual, don't rush to achieve quick results)
4. After jumping and walking slowly for 5 minutes, and then do more than 3 minutes of limb stretching, do not omit this step, not only can relieve the next day's muscle soreness, but also make our baby's legs look straight and longer.
Stretching is mainly the front of the thigh and the back of the calf (there are many such stretching actions, everyone will know as soon as they check, let's not say more ha)
In addition to skipping rope, we can also train with Tabata (suitable for Waha who are physically better), there are many similar videos on the Internet, there are music and coaches, not boring, easy to stick, just follow the jump.
Jump on tiptoe with both hands on waist pads (1 min);
Rest for 30 seconds;
opening and closing jump (1 min);
Rest for 30 seconds;
Stand up and jump (1 minute);
Rest for 30 seconds;
Cross jump with both hands crossed at waist (1 minute);
Rest for 30 seconds;
Jump back and forth with your hands crossed at the waist (1 minute);
Rest for 30 seconds;
Cross jump with hands crossed back and forth (1 min);
Rest for 30 seconds;
jump left and right with hands crossed (1 min);
Rest for 30 seconds;
Squat jump with one hand touching the ground (1 minute).
Jump a few sets according to their actual situation, must be gradual, don't come up with such a big intensity.
There are also some exercises that effectively prevent bone closure that can also be often done (especially suitable for babies with older bones)
1. Inverted V stretching
*Image from the Internet*
Keep your toes on the ground, and press your heels alternately with your legs (moderate pain is enough), 30 in each set, 3-5 sets per day, and rest for 30 seconds between sets.
2. Wave your arms in place and jump up
100 under will do.
*Image from the Internet*
Next is stretching before going to bed, it is not recommended to do intense exercise, so that the baby will be excited to sleep, but it is not conducive to growing taller. We can do some soothing stretching.
For example: seated dynamic forward flexion
*Image from the Internet*
For example: one-legged lunge
*Image from the Internet*
For example: spinal stretching
*Image from the Internet*
or
*Image from the Internet*
First stretch as shown in the picture, then kneel up and fold back as shown below, so as a group.
*Image from the Internet*
You can also lie on the bed, as shown below, insist on a group of 30 seconds.
*Image from the Internet*
As for the above stretching movements to do several sets, you can set your own according to the time and our baby's tolerance, of course, it is not limited to the several I mentioned above, as long as you can stretch the legs and back stretching movements.
Dumbbells, weight lifting, or other negative pressure exercises are not recommended and may suppress your child's height.
Swimming is also a good project to help lose weight and grow taller, our previous card expired, I hurried to get a parent-child card today, ready to insist on taking him to swim at least once a week.
Of course, no matter what sports we do, we must pay attention to the safety of the baby, just in time and moderately!

What do you eat to grow taller?
It is nothing more than balanced nutrition, especially the intake of calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin D, eat some high-quality protein, carbohydrates, lecithin, etc.
1. The most conducive food for children to grow taller
Milk, eggs, beef, kelp, ribs, nuts, fish and shrimp, carrots, black sesame seeds, soy products, etc.
2. Foods that may inhibit children's growth
Foods containing mercury and hormones (preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, tofu milk, duck neck, etc.).
Fat beans are picky eaters, very dislike to eat vegetables, although I can manage at home, but when he eats at school, he doesn't buy vegetables to eat I really can't help, so I basically insist on supplementing him with vitamins.
To be honest, I haven't given fat beans before, and I always feel a bit of an IQ tax.
But after consulting a doctor can eat, my girlfriend also said that her baby has been eating, it is indeed effective, I can't help but buy it for fat beans first.
There are also students in the fat bean class who are confused about their height, and they urged me in the physical fitness class last week, or you have the whole group, we also need, just buy it, and it can be cheaper.
They also recently went to check their height, the doctor directly advised, enthusiastically persuaded growth hormone, the more Tony the doctor, the more worried the mother.
I said I'd have to try it for a while and see what it worked on.
She said, you have been doing it for too long, we are too late, spring is almost over, we have to do something to be mentally steady.
But I will still eat for at least one or two months to see the effect.
I have always been very cautious about what I eat, the vitamins I have Amway before, and the fat beans have been eating, and we ourselves do not plan to continue to eat things, I dare not share.
If it's really good, I'll share it with you!

Finally, how to adjust sleep?
Studies have shown that the secretion of growth hormone during sleep can account for about half of the total secretion, especially during the period of 10 o'clock at night - 1 am and 5 am to 7 am, the peak can be reached in deep sleep.
Sleep is different for each age group:
Newborns: about 14-17 hours;
Under 1 year old: about 12-15 hours;
1-2 years old: about 11-14 hours;
3-5 years old: about 10-13 hours;
6-13 years old: about 9-11 hours;
14-18 years old: about 8-9 hours.
For example, in the age of fat beans, if you want to sleep well, if conditions permit, it is best to let our baby fall asleep before 9:30.
Because it generally takes about 40-60 minutes from falling asleep to deep sleep, if the baby goes to bed after 11 o'clock, the time of deep sleep will be greatly reduced.
We have recently even suspended Fat Bean's extracurricular mathematics and physics live online classes, hanging, preparing to watch the replay during the holidays to ensure that we go to bed on time at 9 o'clock.
Some relatives will say that now the pressure of schoolwork is high, the baby can not reach this sleep time at all, it doesn't matter, the above is just a reference, but let's try to do a good job in time management and provide sufficient sleep time.
If our baby is a "sleep-harder" like a fat bean, you can try the following methods, and the test can be more conducive to sleeping.
1. Do not look at the electronic screen 1-2 hours before going to bed;
2. Do not turn on the night light when sleeping;
3. Do not eat before going to bed, milk is also counted, will make the child get up at night or digestion is not good, can not achieve deep sleep.
The above is my personal recent learning summary, just for your reference ha!
Although these methods need to be persisted for a long time to be effective, compared to HGH (of course, my current understanding is limited, I will continue to find more professionals to understand, just in case), the old mother is still more down-to-earth.
Finally, I want to say that the baby's length is not achieved overnight, try your best, it is useless to be anxious, sometimes pressure does not form motivation, but will be counterproductive, in particular, can not cause height anxiety to the child, can not be demeaning, suppressed or when the baby faces the height, there is nothing to say about the height.
The pressure is not good, and no matter how much intervention the outside world makes, the effect will not be ideal.
Try to do what you can, the rest, and the normal mind.
May this spring, our children all rise in the spring breeze!
