How old the child should be, and how many pounds the fetus is born

Up-to-date children's height and weight standards.

The relationship between the two varies from person to person.

You're too much, aren't we, we're not immortals, how do we know how old the child is, I don't know how many pounds it should be, how many pounds does that thing grow, it doesn't grow so much, this is not necessarily proportional.

After the fetus is born, many doctors or parents will weigh them, but in fact, many people know that the weight of the fetus at birth does not mean anything. He can only say whether the food that the fetus eats when it is in the mother's womb is enough, or just enough, so the fetus generally needs to be within normal weight to be considered healthy. So how many pounds of normal fetal birth weight is there?

Parents in many families think that the chubby baby is, of course, the better, so that it means that the body is healthy, but in fact, the birth weight of a normal newborn should be about five to eight pounds, and the weight is too high or too low for the baby. Newborn babies weighing more than eight pounds, also known as giant babies, will not only bring certain risks to the mother when she gives birth, but also have a much higher chance of high fat, high blood pressure, and heart decline in adulthood than others.

Newborns weighing less than five pounds are usually because of the slow development in the mother's womb, the various organs in their bodies are not fully developed, if the parents' acquired education methods are not scientific, can not make the baby catch up with normal children in terms of growth and development, compared with normal weight babies born, such children's learning ability will be relatively poor with normal children.

If the birth weight of the baby is too high or too low, then parents need to be cultivated and educated, especially in terms of diet and exercise, we must strengthen the improvement to help the child to cultivate, and strive to catch up with normal children.

The birth weight of normal full-term newborns is low, and those larger than 4 kg are macrosomia.

Mothers always pay special attention to the health of their children, so many expectant mothers will consider the weight of their newborn children during pregnancy, worry about whether the weight of their children is within a normal range, and fear that their children are underweight or too heavy, which will affect the health of their children. So, how many pounds is normal for a child to give birth?

How many pounds a child gives birth to is normal.

The average weight of the child when born is 6 pounds, the normal range is 5-8 pounds, under normal circumstances, boys are heavier than girls, if the parents belong to the tall and fat body, then their children are also heavier. A newborn child weighing less than 5 pounds is considered underweight, while a child weighing more than 8 pounds is considered overweight. Most of us think that it is not good for children to be light, but in fact, children who are overweight are also prone to abnormalities such as hypoglycemia.

And we all know the harm of underweight children, that is, children are more likely to get sick.

Factors that affect a child's birth weight.

1. The age of the first birth: 30 years old, if the first child is under 30 years old, the weight of the newborn child increases with the mother's age, and over 31 years old, on the contrary, decreases with age.

2 Weeks of pregnancy: The length of time the child is in the mother's womb will affect the child's weight at birth. At 35 to 39 weeks of pregnancy, the newborn baby's weight increases over time, from 40 to 43 weeks of pregnancy, the weight gain is slower, and after 44 weeks, the child's weight decreases.

3. The health status of pregnant women: If the pregnant mother suffers from high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease and other diseases, the child is born with a low weight.

4. Nutritional status of pregnant women: If pregnant mothers are on diet, partial eating, and picky eating, it will cause the child's nutritional deficiency, which will lead to the child's low weight. And if a pregnant mother eats too much, it will also cause the child to be overweight.

Mothers should maintain a good diet during pregnancy, do not let themselves be underweight or overweight, as this will affect the weight of the child, and maintain a happy mood. It is important to pay attention to the birth of the child at term, as premature babies are generally underweight. The healthy growth of children is inseparable from the careful care of their mothers, and I hope that the little angels can grow up safely.

If the baby's birth weight is about 5 pounds, the mother will be a little disappointed, thinking that she is not nutritious enough during pregnancy and has wronged the baby.

Is this really right?

From a medical point of view, a full-term (within 37 to 42 weeks of pregnancy) baby weight in the range of 5 8 pounds is more appropriate. If the weight is less than 5 pounds, it is a low-weight child (like this is the case with my Erbao). More than 8 pounds, it is huge.

Tips: Some studies have found that babies weighing less than 5 pounds have a 15% probability of affecting intellectual development. This situation means that 85% of babies will catch up with their height and weight before the age of 2, and the remaining 15% can not catch up, which may affect their intellectual development.

Premature infants, on the other hand, have a weaker constitution and are prone to neonatal diseases after birth, which affects the absorption of nutrients and their brain development. It is necessary to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and if the age of 3 is not within the normal range, further examination is required, and medical intervention if necessary.

Dr. UK: The closer you get to this number, the smarter the baby.

There is a study in the United States, scientists have followed thousands of babies born in childhood for decades, and the results show that the baby's weight at birth will also have an impact on his future IQ. The bigger the baby's weight, the greater the brain capacity, and the smarter he will be when he grows up (weight refers to 6 pounds, not 8 pounds).

Scientists believe that babies who weigh about 6 pounds at birth are more likely to grow up healthily and are smarter.

Dr. Richards of the United Kingdom also did a study, he followed 3,900 boys and girls born in 1945, and found that the heavier the baby at birth (6 pounds, not macrosomia), the smarter it grows up. In low-weight babies, cognitive function will be affected, and to a lesser extent, brain development will be affected.

Some scientists believe that the baby's birth weight is proportional to the brain volume, which is also related to the synaptic connections in the brain. However, birth weight cannot be used as the only criterion for judging the intelligence of children, because the external environment, living place, education and caregiver emotions after the birth of the baby will affect the baby's intellectual development.

How to control your weight after pregnancy?

Although the baby's birth weight is not completely proportional to the maternal weight gain during pregnancy (some pregnant mothers gain weight fast, but the fetal development is small), it is still necessary to pay attention to a healthy diet after pregnancy, reasonably control weight gain, and avoid the occurrence of pregnancy syndrome, which will cause adverse effects on fetal development.

The World Health Organization refers to the first 1,000 days of life (from the beginning of pregnancy to the child's 2 years of age) as a person's growth and development"Window of opportunity"。It is believed that good nutrition during pregnancy is the basis for the physical growth and brain development of embryos and infants. It also reduces the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood and corrects the intergenerational transmission of malnutrition.

Diet should be followed during pregnancy"Eat small, frequent meals"The principle is that you can eat 5 to 8 times a day to reduce the amount of food you take each time to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines and causing gastrointestinal discomfort. The diet is a combination of meat and vegetables, coarse grains and fine grains, and these nutrients are also needed for fetal development.

It is normal for a child to have a birth weight of about 6 pounds, but premature babies may only weigh about 5 pounds. In general, the weight of the child at birth is about 5 to 8 pounds, which is a relatively normal range. If the child is close to the normal range of 6 pounds at birth, it means that such a child may have a smarter mind and a healthier body.
