How many pounds does a newborn grow in confinement to be normal?

It is normal for babies to grow rapidly in the first three months, and generally grow about two pounds in the first month. There are baby growth and development charts available online that can be used as a reference.

It is normal for newborns to grow 3 to 5 pounds during the confinement period, indicating that the fetus is developing very well and the body is very strong, and the baby's stomach and intestines are peristalsis is also very fast.

Five to six pounds is in the normal range, but it is not excluded that there are children who grow fast and children who grow slowly, it still depends on the child's own physique. In fact, as long as the child is healthy, everyone will be happy.

After the baby is born, every new mother is worried about the growth and development of the baby, and the baby's weight is an important factor to measure the development. Normally, the weight gain of a newborn changes with age, and the younger the baby, the faster the weight gain. Want to know how many pounds a newborn grows in confinement?

Let's take a look.

Newborns with a newborn weight can temporarily lose 3% to 9% in the first week of life due to insufficient intake, water loss and meconium elimination, reaching a minimum in about 3 to 4 days, and then gradually recovering thereafter. It usually returns to birth levels on the 70th day. The younger the child, the faster the weight gain.

A normal full-term infant gains weight in the first month of life1. Under normal circumstances, babies in confinement can gain 600-1500g, about 30g per day on average. But this is not standard data.

The situation of the baby in each family is different, and the actual situation varies greatly. For example, if a baby is overweight and is about 10 pounds at birth, then the baby is likely to still be only a little more than 10 pounds when the baby is full moon. Not even one pound a month is not necessarily an increase.

If a baby is born prematurely and is less than five pounds at birth, then it is likely that the full moon will grow to more than ten pounds. I grew more than five pounds in a month, and my weight suddenly caught up with that of a normal baby. Therefore, babies with different basal weights at birth will not have the same amount of weight gain at full month.

Mothers may wish to check it to see if their baby's weight is up to standard? This can be judged safely by observing the baby's mental state and stool, as long as the baby eats well, sleeps well, and plays well when he wakes up, parents can rest assured.

The baby's weight change is the feedback of the child's physical state, parents may wish to help the child record the change in weight, observe whether the child's growth pattern is normal, and facilitate timely detection of problems. The baby's weight can be measured by parents by purchasing a scale, or they can be measured by "rubbing" the scale when the baby is vaccinated or when doing other routine examinations.

There are two peaks of growth and development in a person's life, one in the first year after birth and the other during adolescence. In the first year of life, babies gain rapid height and weight. Suffice it to say, the situation in January was basically the same.

In the first year of life, you can increase your height by about 25 centimeters and triple your weight at birth. The first trimester is the time when the height and weight gain the most, especially when the baby is the same every day.

The normal weight range for newborns is 2-3 kg. Take the example of a 6 kg baby at birth: in the first 7 days, the baby's weight drops to 3%-9% compared to the time of birth.

If the baby weighs 6 kg at birth, the baby weighs kg in the first 7 days after birth, and the baby weighs the lowest on the 3rd-4th day after birth. On days 7-10, the weight returns to the level at birth, about 6 kg. On the 10th-20th day, the weight increases to about 7-8 kg.

On day 20-30, the weight increases to about 8-9 kg.

Newborns generally gain 2-3 kg in the first month of life. Weight gain can be a reflection of your child's nutritional status. Weight increases most in the first three months of life, generally 600 per 1000 grams per month, preferably not less than 600 grams.

This condition is mainly an indication of the child's physical weakness.

The child's body and weight are kept within a certain range. If this standard value is too high or too low, the child will have a certain adverse effect on the child's physical and mental health, mainly reflected in the weight at rest. If the child's resting weight does not reach a certain standard value, it means that the child's body is missing some substances and needs to be replenished immediately.

If the remaining weight exceeds a certain standard value, effective countermeasures should be taken to deal with it. In addition, whether the growth rate is normal compared to the baby's birth weight is normal as long as the baby's growth and development is within a reasonable range. Normal feeding is usually ensured and the baby's growth and development is monitored.

If the baby is born prematurely and weighs less than 5 kg at birth, it is likely to grow to more than 10 kg by the time the full moon is reached. After growing more than 5 kg in a month, the weight suddenly catches up with a normal baby. Therefore, the amount of weight gain at full month is different for babies with different basic weights at birth.

Don't worry if your baby's weight isn't up to par. Usually, we must pay attention to the comprehensive intake of various nutrients for the baby, and the baby's height and weight will soon catch up with the level of a normal baby.

How to take care of the newborn in confinement? 1.Keep warm.

Due to the imperfect development of the neonatal body temperature center and the insufficient body temperature regulation function, the ambient temperature can affect the baby's body temperature. Therefore, in winter, when the temperature is excessive, pay attention to keep the baby warm, 25-28 is better, you can properly turn on the heating or put a hot water bottle at the lower end of the baby's quilt. With the change of climate and temperature changes, it is necessary to pay attention to adjusting the ambient temperature and baby's clothes at any time.

2.Prevent infection.

The baby's resistance is very poor, so mothers should learn to refuse unnecessary visits, and do not let family members with colds touch the baby.

Those two days really scared us, after all, we have only been in confinement for half a month, and we dare not take the baby out to see a doctor.

3.Take good care of your baby's belly button.

When the umbilical cord is the fetus drinks a bridge connected to the maternal placenta, the fetus absorbs nutrients and excretes waste, but the umbilical cord loses its effect after the baby is born, when the doctor cuts the umbilical cord, it will form a first wound belonging to the newborn at the umbilical cord cutting site, which is a physiological process, which heals after about 14 days, so parents should take care of it carefully.

The most important thing to care for the navel is not to enter the water, and special attention should be paid when taking a bath, if there is redness or pus flowing out, it is caused by poor care. At this time, it is necessary to see a doctor in time, disinfect with 75% alcohol every day, and keep it dry.

4.Breastfeeding.

In addition, after a full month, the average monthly growth will be between 1 and 1 pound.

If the baby's weight gain during confinement is too low, it may be due to the relatively small amount of breast milk or the quality is not good, it is recommended that the mother can eat more nutritious foods, such as eggs and milk. If the baby's weight gain is too fast during confinement, it may be over-breastfeeding, and the amount of breastfeeding can be appropriately reduced under the advice of the doctor.

Usually at the end of the third month after birth, the weight will reach twice the birth weight, and it is generally hoped that the baby's daily weight gain is about 20-30 grams, because every morning after bathing, it is weighed in a specific situation, so the daily weight gain is more comparable.
