What is the difference between a baby born of 5 pounds and 8 pounds?

Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-01-31

I often hear about old people with babies.

The birth weight of a child is being discussed.

"My grandson is obese, he was born with 9 pounds."

"No, my granddaughter was born 87 pounds".

"My family is not that big, only 6 pounds".

It seems that in the eyes of many people of the older generation, the greater the weight of the doll at birth, the healthier the body and the better it looks.

So I'm going to share it with you today:Is there really a relationship between a child's weight at birth and his or her IQ later in life?

The fatter the baby is born, the smarter he is

There is a popular belief among the people that big fat boys are smarter.

They equate the birth weight of their children with intelligence, and the fatter they are, the smarter they are. Think this statement is false.

Let's not talk about the real historical medical records, all types of costume dramas and palace fighting dramas clearly express one point:

The child has a big difficult birth!

Do you know the stills).

So why is there a saying that the fatter the child, the smarter he is?

After reading the books, I summarized these three points:

1.If the mother gives birth to a baby who is relatively thin, she is generally more guilty and feels that she has not delivered all the healthy nutrients to the baby's body.
2.The older generation thinks that fat is a symbol of blessing, especially chubby babies, who look cute and cute, and are very healthy and smart at a glance.
3.In the past, the living conditions and medical conditions were relatively backward, and the probability of raising a fat baby was greater.
Over time, people forget why it is good for children to be fat, and only remember that children are fat.

In fact,Excessive weight gain can lead to a series of problems, one of which is overnutrition, excessive caloric intake may lead to the birth of macrosomia, and the second is to increase the risk of maternal dystocia.

In the case of macrosomia, which appear to be strong on the surface, there may actually be some underlying health problems.

So, don't really think that "having a big fat boy" is a blessing.

What weight baby is the smartest?

So, how many pounds and taels is the best weight for a newborn baby?

Newborn babies generally weigh around 3 kilograms.

Less than 5 pounds:

If the baby weighs about 5 pounds, then the baby will look thinner and weaker in comparison, which will be a little troublesome in the later care, but it is also healthy.

6 to 8 pounds:

This is the most suitable birth weight, which means that the baby has developed well before birth and has absorbed enough nutrients, so the baby will be smarter

More than 8 pounds or even more than 9 pounds:

In medicine, it is not that the larger the weight of the newborn, the better, more than 8 pounds or even 9 pounds, which is called "macrosomia".

These babies may face some risks at birth, such as an increased chance of having a difficult birth. The health care provider will keep a close eye on the health of these babies to ensure their safety.

Therefore, the weight of the newborn baby is not always better.

How can I prevent abnormal fetal weight?

It's important to have regular prenatal checkups

Mothers who have experienced maternity leave will complain: there are many prenatal examinations and the cost is expensive, which is a bit overwhelming.

Although the prenatal check-up will go through a lot of tedious processes, it is worth it to see the baby born smoothly, healthy and smart.

Modern times are not the same as before, don't listen to some words of the elderly, saying that there were not so many examinations before, and the children are all healthy and have grown up.

Pregnant mothers must pay attention to prenatal checkups, follow the doctor's instructions, adjust and intervene in various problems during pregnancy in a timely manner, and finally "harvest" a healthy and intelligent baby.

Exercise moderately

Take a walk

Yoga

Make it a habit to exercise regularly. Insist on about 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day.

Eat staple foods with thick and thin combinations

The essence of eating staple foods lies in the combination of thickness and thickness, which is high in dietary fiber and has a strong sense of satiety, so it is easier to control the amount of food.
