Whether the child's growth and development is good or not, height and weight are undoubtedly the two indicators that parents are most concerned about, after all, tall, short, fat and thin are very intuitive and easy to see.
The child has not seen any weight growth in 3 months, **Something is wrong?
I feel that my child's height is a little short, is it normal?
The height and weight are on the small side, how to catch up?
I don't know if you have such anxiety as above, once the child's height and weight growth is slow or not increasing, are you worried about parenting problems, or is there something wrong with the child's body?
In fact, to evaluate whether the child is growing well, you can't just look at the data of one month or two months, but also need to combine the baby's growth curve and other comprehensive judgments, in addition to genetic factors, there are also diet, sleep, psychology and disease and other factors.
If parents feel that they have difficulty in assessing their developmental level and finding the cause, and they have no way to start, they can also find a pediatrician to help analyze and guide them firstThe doctors of Lilac Mother are all in-service doctors in regular tertiary hospitals across the country, with an average of more than 10 years of experience and rich experience.
In order to help parents self-evaluate and analyze, we have selected the following public consultation cases - the problem of 8-month-old baby weight loss, see how the doctor analyzes it layer by layer.
Hello doctor. My daughter is 8 months old. It's always been what to eat and what to pull, the weight has not grown, and the height is okay. I eat a lot of milk and complementary foods, and fruits and vegetables are added. But the weight is still 78 kg, height 69 cm, may I ask the doctor what is going on with this and how to adjust it?
Baby development problems should be combined with growth curves:
Hello parents, the baby is 8 months old and weighs 78 kg, height 69 cm, judging from this data alone, probably the height and weight can be in the 30th percentile, which is still okay. You can send your baby's growth curve and we can see a developmental trend from birth to the present. If the curve is always stable, for example, weight is always around the 30th percentile, and height is always around the 30th and 40th percentile, then that's fine.
Your baby's feeding and poop conditions are important:
In addition, you need to confirm with you whether the baby is breastfed or formula, what is the frequency and quality of stool, what to eat and what to pull, and whether there are allergies and lactose intolerance.
For example, if you are allergic to cow's milk, you will have persistent diarrhea, blood in your stool, or your baby will have eczema all over your body. Lactose intolerance is manifested as a large number of stools, pulling after eating, and farting more with bubbles.
The baby is weaned at four months, fed with milk powder, the milk volume is about 200 ml each time, 4 5 times a day, plus two complementary foods, and the milk is not much during the day and more at night.
Poop once a day, sometimes twice, the stool is not as good as what you said, that is, what to eat and what to pull, such as eating dragon fruit stool is red, even the urine is red, the spirit is very good, and the sleep is okay. There is no growth curve, this is the height and weight recorded by the baby during each physical examination, doctor, do you look at it?
For privacy reasons, patient-provided information is not displayed here.
The current intake is no problem:
The amount of milk is 800 1000 ml, and you also eat two complementary meals, then this amount is no problem.
Stool frequency and consistency:
The baby's stool is basically once a day, there is no continuous diarrhea, blood in the stool, foamy stool, etc., regardless of allergies and lactose intolerance for the time being, what you said about eating dragon fruit and discoloration of urine is normal, don't worry.
Developmental trends from the growth curve:
I've made a graph for you here, let's talk about it in detail:
Dr. Xia helped consult her mother's growth chart.
First, the curve of the baby decreases after four months, and the decline is more obvious between 4 and 6 months. Do you have any problems at this stage? For example, whether there is any illness that affects this**, whether there is diarrhea, and see if these changes cause the weight not to grow.
Second, the curve of 6 8 months of age has a process of upward lifting. It means that the weight is going to **, because it fell too much before, so now this value is about the 20th and 24th percentiles. It's still a good trend compared to 4 to 6 months.
So let's continue to monitor, keep the existing feeding, 800 1000 ml a day plus two complementary foods, and continue to monitor.
In addition, you mentioned that the baby is not much during the day, more at night, we do not advocate eating night milk, if you eat less during the day, you will first comply with it, parents do not consciously increase the number of night feeding, if parents are feeding him at night, then the baby is definitely not hungry during the day, it is more reluctant to eat, and it will be hard to eat at night, so that it will be a vicious circle, we had better adjust this dietary rule, slowly reduce or even quit at night.
After Dr. Xia's guidance, the mother's anxiety was alleviated a lot, and she also understood the current feeding problems and how to adjust. Gave great praise to the doctor.
If you feel that you are not at ease in your judgment, you can also try to consult a pediatrician, a doctor from a tertiary hospital**, and you can get professional guidance without tossing and running to the hospital.
