The following are some average ranges of weight and height, based on growth charts developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC :. Although a child may be growing, their growth pattern may deviate from the normal. Ultimately, the child should grow to normal height by adulthood. The first thing babies do on their pattern of growth after birth is shrink. For example, when the mother has higher blood sugar levels, the baby will naturally produce more insulin, causing it to grow.
Too much blood sugar and insulin can cause your baby to put on extra weight as a result. Your centile chart shows lines that represent a zone within which your baby is expected to grow normally. If your baby jumps up or down to the next centile, or begins to go beyond the zone altogether, speak to your health visitor.
Babies will often go through growth spurts, gaining nothing for a couple of weeks, then catching up in one go. Exclusively breastfed babies, premature babies or twins all show slightly different weight gain progress. It's difficult to compare one child to another, even if they are brothers and sisters.
Just as all children are different, it is important to realize that not all growth charts are the same. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC provides a set of growth charts that include older data and information from a combination of feeding methods.
The CDC recommends using the WHO growth charts for all babies whether they are breastfeeding or taking formula during the first two years. When you compare your child to other babies, you may worry if you notice that they are smaller or heavier than their peers. Luckily, there is an easy way to ease your fears and find out for sure if your child is growing as expected. You just have to follow the regular schedule for well-child visits that your healthcare provider gives you.
The doctor will weigh and measure your baby each time you see him. And, they will keep track of your child's growth and overall health over time. This will allow them to notice any diversions from your child's anticipated growth, based on history, and address any possible concerns quickly, if applicable.
