How to tell if your baby s growth and development are delayed

You can refer to the child growth and development standards on the Internet, or take the child to the maternal and child health hospital for physical examination regularly, and the doctor with developmental delay will tell and inform the parents how to deal with it and prescribe the corresponding nutritional drugs. I did this before my child went to kindergarten, so I'll give you a reference!

Judging the baby's developmental delay should be comprehensively judged through physical development examination, intelligence examination, and motor examination. Stunted babies are usually due to genetic factors, such as chromosomal disorders, malnutrition during pregnancy, asphyxia in the womb, and intracranial infections after birth.

1. Physical development examination: mainly check whether the baby's height, weight, head circumference, and chest circumference development standards are within the normal range, if compared with the baby of the same age, the curve development index is different from the normal development standard of the baby at the same age, it is a situation of abnormal development, especially two standard deviations lower than the baby of the same age, indicating that there is physical development delay, especially in the baby's height, weight, head circumference, to be measured in detail;

2. Intelligence examination: to give the baby the relevant intelligence test, mainly through the scientific quantitative table to complete, the intelligence examination includes the baby's observation ability, thinking ability, imagination ability, learning ability, etc., if the intelligence test shows that there is a significant low compared with the same age baby, indicating that the baby has mental retardation, there may be developmental delay;

3. Motor examination: usually different months of baby motor development is different, usually the baby will raise his head in 2 months, 4 months will turn over, 6 months will sit independently, 8 months will unconsciously shout out the voice of father and mother, and the baby will walk independently at about 1 year old, which is the law of gross motor development. If your baby is not able to reach this level, it is a cause for concern, and there may be a delay in motor development.

In addition, when assessing the baby, it is also necessary to pay attention to the fine movements, whether they can complete the actions of fetching, drawing, writing, and self-care, and babies of different ages have different ways of expression.

If the baby is found to be stunted after physical development examination, intelligence examination, exercise examination, etc., it is necessary to go to a formal professional medical institution as soon as possible to clarify the cause of stunting. If stunting is caused by brain dysplasia, it is necessary to appropriately promote brain development and give corresponding interventions, including physiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine massage, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen and other methods.

1. In the early stage of children's early childhood, they lack response to the sounds around them, and when they are 1 year old, they will not express themselves in daily life, such as making sounds or making movements to express themselves when they are hungry. By the age of 2, he could not speak anything and could not understand the language of others correctly. At the age of 3, he could only make simple sentences and express himself vaguely.

At the age of 4 years, the symptoms persisted. Then it is very likely that this is a delay in language development.

2. Factors affecting growth and development such as daily nutrition or diseases have no obvious impact on length, and are mainly affected by genetic factors and environment. Height increases the fastest in the year of birth, with an average annual increase of 25 cm. In the second year, it is 10 cm, and in the third year, it increases by about 5 cm on average.

Stunting is a disease that must be in the early stage, if the disease is delayed, the impact will accompany the child for a lifetime, so if parents find the disease in time, they must immediately let the child go to a regular hospital for treatment, so that the child can grow up healthily.

Professor Qi Yu of Fudan in Hangzhou: Whether a child's physical development is normal or not is often judged by his height and weight. However, how to judge whether the development of children's bones is normal can be judged from the bone age, and it is recommended to go to the growth and development department for further examination of endocrine.

Methods for judging fetal development:

1.Ultrasound. Tests are usually done every three or four weeks during pregnancy to ensure that the fetus is growing normally.

Doctors can use ultrasound to understand the internal organs of the fetus and measure growth and development indicators. There is a special ultrasound test called fetal biophysical score, where doctors can further observe the fetus's breathing, musculoskeletal movements, etc.

2.No stress test. This test reflects the ability of the fetus to respond to its heartbeat.

A healthy baby's heart beats faster when it moves. A no-stress test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, but if the fetus is asleep, it may take longer. Sometimes, doctors also watch your baby's heartbeat when your uterus contracts (contraction stress test).

If any of these test results are abnormal, doctors will test them further. If there is an abnormality in your pregnancy, your doctor may promote labor earlier (induction).
