What is the weight of the child in 6 months. How much should a six-month-old child weigh and what should be his height? Excess weight and obesity

Each child is unique and unique. After all, both adults are all different: high and low, widespread and elegant, dense and asthenic physique. Of course, the child in this sense is a reflection of mom and dad. Nevertheless, there are certain norms that should be known to parents to ensure that their baby develops and grow. In this article we will tell how much the child should weigh in 6 months.

Half a year is a kind of line, after which you must visit all children's doctors: pediatrician, neurologist, cardiologist, Laura, ophthalmologist and orthopedic.

The pediatrician, of course, measures all the anthropometric indicators of the baby monthly, noting their dynamics. However, at six months, an important consultation should take place, which concerns the introduction of the dust. The recommendations of the pediatrician depend on what weight is at the kid.

What weight is considered normal?

Many parents heard that by half the child should weigh exactly twice as much as at birth, and there is a certain reason. Often, children really fit into this indicator, but it is too averaged and does not take into account many individual moments.

A month after birth, the baby is on average adds from five hundred grams to a kilogram. The second and third month will give another five hundred and six hundred grams. The fourth and fifth month increase is six hundred and seven hundred grams, and as much as the seventh. Thus, the kid who was born with a mass of 3,500 grams, doubles the weight (which will now be 6900-7800 grams). The indicators of the child born with a greater or smaller mass, respectively, will be different.

Olga Mom 8-month Ignat: "Ignat was born skinny, only 2980 g, with a rise of 51 cm. But after 3 months, it became so actively gaining weight that in 6 already weighed 8200! It is 1120 more than 2 times, and only on breast milk. The pediatrician was glad, he said, caught up with the peers. "

What does the weight of the infant depend on

From the anthropometric characteristics of the parents.If mom and dad, below average growth, their baby will significantly differ in growth and weight from a neighbor child, whose parents met in the Basketball Section. Obesity for parents is a risk factor for a child, because it can inherit the features of metabolism.

From the floor. At birth, girls weigh us a little less boys. At a certain age, the boys begin to give way to the longitudes in weight and growth, but in half a year they are usually larger.

On the conditions of appearance. Weight premature child Always below the norm, but over time it is leveled. The kid, which emerged earlier than the deadline, should catch up by the weight of peers by 12-14 months, but with prematurity of the III degree (term less than 31 weeks, weight is below 1500 grams) this period can last much longer. At six months, such a kid will weigh less peers. There is nothing terrible in this, the main thing is that the gain is stable.

From nutritional features. For artificial feeding Children are often gaining weight faster than those who feed on breast milk.

From health status. Transferred in the first months of the life of the disease, operational interventions, the reception of antibiotics and other factors lead to a significant weight deviation from the norm.
So all children are different, therefore normal weight - The one in which the child develops normally.

The child is healthy if:

• development corresponds to age standards (started to hold the head on time, sit and so on);
• no manifestations of rickets or anemia;
• there are no "failures" in the weight gain (that is, at least 100 grams, but scored, the weight does not stand still and does not decrease);
• the teeth are dispersed according to age;
• there are no problems with digestion (liquid chair, constipation).

Another Benjamin Spock urged not to worry too much about the weight gain, since this is not the only indicator of the child's development.

Features of the introduction of Prikorma

As mentioned at the beginning, the lure is introduced depending on the weight and type of child's nutrition. If the weight is consistent with the standards, the pediatrician will recommend starting to fit with one-component vegetable puree. If the child did not score the weight to the norm, the lure can be introduced earlier than 6 months. The pediatrician can advise to start with a gluten-free one-component porridge, since such a coaline food than a vegetable puree.

If the baby is on mixed or artificial feeding, pediatricians are usually recommended to start babies a little earlier. The gastrointestinal tract of such children gets used to a new type of food faster. At the same time, some excess weight is compensated for by the use of vegetables. If a child weighs a lot, it is better to wait with porridge, as well as with sweet fruit (bananas) and potato mashed potatoes.

If a child has anemia and insufficient weight, the pediatrician can recommend incorporating meat puree in the diet for 6 months.

The administration of the feeding can be postponed if the child has deviations in health state, for example, food allergies or dysbacteriosis with dyspeptic phenomena, and also if there is an acutely occurring disease.

Inna, Mom, one year old Lisa: "We have started with the problem with the problem - I got sick with the ORVI family. And the daughter only managed to eat a puree from zucchini according to the pediatrician scheme. They interrupted, recovered, waited a week and repeated from the very beginning, first with half a spoon on the day, then more, etc. ".

Weight and Growth Tables

In order for all parents to keep track of the development of their baby, the World Health Organization has developed table standards for a boy and girls by month and years.

Interestingly, these standards have been developed in 2006. The rules operating earlier were above about 20%. This is due to the fact that from the middle of the 20th century, artificial feeding was common in many countries. After the doctors began to popularize prolonged breastfeeding, the children began to weigh less children.

In detail shows the weight of the child in six months table, presented below.

Weight of a 6-month-old girl in accordance with WHO standards:

From this table, it can be seen that the normal weight of the girl ranges from 6.46 to 8.25 kilograms, and medium weight - 7.3 kg. Two extreme columns on both sides show deviations from the norm: with such indicators, the doctor's consultation is recommended.

Growth of a 6-month-old girl in accordance with WHO standards:

overly low	low	below the average	middle	above average	tall	overly high
58.9 cm	61.2 cm	63.5 cm	65.7 cm	68 cm	70.3 cm	72.5 cm

Here, two extreme columns show deviations from the norm. If the growth does not fit into the average indicators, it is better to clarify this question from a pediatrician.

The weight of the six-month boy reflects the following table:

As can be seen from the table, the weight rate for boys is higher than for girls.
If you pay attention to the growth table of boys, you can see the same thing:

overly low	low	below the average	middle	above average	tall	overly high
61.2 cm	63.3 cm	65.5 cm	67.6 cm	69.8 cm	71.9 cm	74 cm

If it seems to you that the baby slowly gains weight, or, on the contrary, "harder" peers, then be sure to consult on this issue with a pediatrician. Perhaps the doctor dispels your concerns, or vice versa, will suggest measures to solve the problem.

Video on the topic

The percentage of overweight children everywhere increases with a threatening speed - on average, every third teenager or child currently has overweight or obesity.

Now many children spend little time to workout and mobile games, more time they are in front of the TV, for video games or computer. And in many working employed families with parents less free time to cook healthy hOME FOOD. From fast food to computer, quickly and in a hurry is a reality for many families.

Eliminate children from overweight means set in the family the correct power and sports mode, as well as a useful rest together. We must include our children in healthy image Life with your own example.

Does your child have a lack of weight or overweight?

World Health Organization (WHO), US Department of Health, as well as Most countries of the world for evaluation excess weight In adults and children, the BMI is successfully used - the body mass index - which is based on the ratio of growth and weight, and the subsequent calculation of the fraction of fat in the human body. The CMT calculation method is the development of Adolf Ketle and for children it provides for a special scheme. First you need to calculate the BMI of the child in general formula:

Body mass index calculator (BMI) by ketle formula

Since children and adolescents are distinguished by active growth and development, their BMI can change significantly for a short time. Therefore, the usual immit assessment, common in adults, does not suit them. To accurately and correctly assess the body mass index of the child, scientists investigated the mass ratio and growth of many thousands of children. And when it is necessary to determine whether the BMI of your child is the norm or deviates from it, comparative tables are "percentage curves", or distribution scales - with average indicators for children of this age and growth will give you the opportunity to understand whether it is necessary to adjust the weight. Thus, the body mass index of your child is compared with the average indicators of thousands of other children. Thanks to this approach, the development stages are taken into account that children pass in certain age groups. For example, if a child has a body mass index higher than 97% of children of his age, then it can be concluded that the child has overweight.
This table contains information on the BMI of adolescents and children of both sexes from 2 to 20 years.

As a result, BMI of your child will fall into one of four categories:

• Lack of weight: BMI below the 5th average (percentage curve);
• Healthy weight: BMI between the 5th and 85th average;
• Overweight: BMI in the interval between the 85th and 95th indicator;
• Obesity: The CMT falls into the area of \u200b\u200bthe 95th indicator or higher.

For children under 2 years old, doctors use weight and growth ratios, as well as a thorough immediate inspection.

Table of assessment of the mass and growth of the child

At the same time, the BMI is not the ideal indicator of the amount of fat in the body and can be misleading in some cases. For example, a teenager with a developed muscles may have a high BMI, without excess weight at the same time (muscles are added to the mass of the body, and not to overweight). In addition, BMI is difficult to evaluate correctly during puberty, in which young people are experiencing rapid growth steps. In any case, it is important to remember that BMI is, as a rule, a good indicator, but this is not a direct measurement of the amount of fat in the body.

Install the exact percentage of adipose tissue allows biimepered analysis. With the help of a certain device, a weak safe electrical current pass through the body, changing its frequency. Various body fabrics have different resistance to electrotok, thus, the ability to calculate what the proportion of the body falls on the muscles, and which is on the bone and fat.

If you are worried that your child can have redundant or insufficient weight, arrange a meeting with the attending physician who will appreciate the power and level of physical activity, and will offer positive changes. The doctor can also recommend the prevention of certain diseases associated with insufficient weight or obesity.

Excess weight and obesity

The key to maintaining children of all ages in a healthy weight is the way of life of the whole family. This is what "preached" in the family. Make physical activity and healthy nutrition Family hobby. To make it interesting for children, let them help help in planning a useful menu and cooking, take them with you to grocery stores so that they learn to choose healthy and right products.
Do not fall into these common traps in nutrition:

• Do not reward children for good behavior and do not try to keep them from bad behavior With the help of sweets or treats. Promotion or punishment should not include food, there are a lot of other effective and proper education methods.
• Do not support the "Pure Plate Policy". Watch out for signs that the child is hungry. Even babies who turn away from the bottle or breasts report themselves. If children are full, do not force them to continue. Remind yourself that we should eat only when hungry.
• Do not talk about "harmful products" and do not exclude all the sweets and favorite delicacies from the children's menu. Children most likely draw up and will be in large quantities of these harmful products Outside home or when parents do not see.

conclusions

The child is not easy to motivate on the result, it is impossible to "plant" on the diet. In turn, teenage years Focusing that there is a risk of the emergence of his disposal, closetness, depression, anorexia. After you find out if your child needs in weight correction, we would like to give some additional recommendations for the guys of all ages:

• From birth to 1 year: In addition to well-known multilateral health benefits, breastfeeding can help prevent also excessive weight gain. And although the exact mechanism is not yet installed, children on breastfeeding, more clearly feel their hunger and a feeling of satiety, defending themselves in this way from overeating.
• From 1 year to 5 years: to produce useful habits better from an early age. Help the child to establish the right food preferences, offering it a variety of healthy food. Encourage children's natural tendency to activity and help him develop.
• From 6 to 12 years: Support the physical activity of the child every day. Let it be a sports section or moving games in the yard. Encourage activity and home - in everyday home work and in joint Games And walks on weekends. Take a child to choose useful and healthy foods, help him gather my sandwiches yourself.
• From 13 to 18 years: Teenagers often tend to fast food, but try to push them to a healthier food. For example, to sandwiches with baked chicken meat, salads and smaller portions. Teach them to cook at home delicious healthy food and delicacy. Help them maintain physical activity every day.
• All ages: Reduce the time spent by the child in front of the TV, computer and for video games. Burn with the child's habit is, looking at the TV or computer monitor. Try to cook and offer a child a variety of healthy food. Try to have breakfast, dine and dinner with your child together. Encourage children eating vegetables and fruits at least five times a day, limit the sweet drinks and never skip breakfast.

If you eat right, often play sports and include healthy habits in the usual everyday life of your family, you build a healthy lifestyle of your children, which they will be able to maintain further. Explain to them the importance of physical activity and proper nutrition, but be sure to do it with your total family habitso that it becomes the second nature of each of you.

But first of all, let your children know that you love them regardless of their weight, and your main desire is to help them be happy and healthy.

Growth and weight of children aged 6 months

Power supply for 6 months

In breastfeeding, feeding mode changes. At night, the most active sucking shifts for the last 2-3 hours before the awakening. In the first half of the day, the kid passed overnight 6 months is rarely applied to the chest, in the evening of applying become frequent. In 6 months of joining, they disappear at all or become single.

During breastfeeding, the child begins to rest on the handles in mom, as if pushing out from her. This is another stage of separation from the mother, as well as checking its new bodily opportunities. Mom should take such a kid behavior.

In 6 months usually begins familiarity with food adults - Pedagogical lore. The child shows an active food interest - this is a new stage in its development, and not the evidence of a shortage of milk at mom or malnutrition. He will only try new tastes, adapts to features of food other than breast milk. From 6 months you can give a child to try as products recommended for feeding at this age (vegetables, fruits and mashed potatoes, porridge) and safe (dietary, non-allergenic) food from the table of adult family members. The volumes of new food are unlikely to be tangible.

Child care in 6 months

Night sleep is lengthened, 2-3 appear daytime sleep For 30 minutes - 2 hours.

Cognitive child development 6 months

At the age of 6 months, the child can watch the toy moving for a long time. Pulls her hands, grabs, holds. For a long time, it works with one subject: takes toys from different positions, shifts out of one hand to another, pulls into the mouth, moves, examines, listens to her sound (melody). The child is 6 months old, holding the toy, roll over on the side, on the belly, on the back. The game is trying to find the toy hidden suddenly (peers, strips the handkerchiefs). Trying to imitate the movements of an adult: pats, knocking, compresses, shakes the toy.

At about the age of 6 months, the child becomes alert or even frightened at the sight of an unfamiliar person or in a new setting.

Speech Development of a 6-month Child

He listens to the voice of an adult, eats him with syllables from his bottle, turns into his name. A child of 6 months looks in the direction of a familiar subject to an adult question: "Where is that?". The development of the speech apparatus allows a child for 6 months to utter vowel sounds. The baby often utters syllables in the process of independent wakefulness, a clear phonemes arise in a bowel native language, individual rhythm. The child of 6 months repeats for adults some sounds and syllables from her tinett. Imprises with voice intonations of adult (expressive): "sneezes", "curses", "laughs".

Household skills

Holds mom's chest during sucking. Opening his mouth in front of a spoon, shoots food with lips, eats with a spoon semi-pile food.

As soon as the baby appears in the house, caring parents carefully follow its development and primarily control:

• raising weight;
• increase in growth;
• children's head circumference.

For some young mothers it is very important to control each gram and centimeter, which adds a newborn. And, of course, everyone wish to know exactly: how much should the children who reach the age of 6 months?

How many children of six months of age weigh

To answer an urgent question that concerns caring parents, how many children in 6 months should weigh the norms of this indicator, should consider that each child develops individually and is born with its complex. First of all, this affects the genetic factor. Therefore, the norm of this indicator cannot be the same for all infants of 6 months.

For example, if the child was born with a weight of from 3000 to 3,500 grams, that is, its indicators correspond to the norm, then it must be added to its own mass of about 700 grams. This means that by 6 months he must gain weight from 7,000 to 8500 grams.

Of course, this rate is not mandatory for all children without exception. No one can clearly answer the question: how much should the baby weigh at this age? After all, children are born with different weighting indicators and some features:

• the newborn can be all more or less due to the heredity factor;
• massive girls are much smaller than boys;
• the baby can be born with a smaller weight indicator due to deviations that took place in the process of pregnancy.

Therefore, newborns are initially capable of gaining only 300 grams per month, since it is still very weakened. But you should not despair, the babies will definitely start typing precious grams 10-12 days after birth. If, during the first two months of his life, a person pulls a more kilogram, it is impossible to be considered a patient. It is also worth considering that if the children were born prematurely, then by 6 months they will weigh as much as provided for in the minimum indicators of these criteria.

By summing up, you can answer the question that is important for many parents, that is, how many children who have reached the 6 months should weigh. At this age, the weight is capable of reaching 9.5 kg, and the minimum mass rate is equal to 6 kilograms. Throughout the 6th month of life, children can score up to 800 grams, but do not despair if the weight is a little more or less than the norm.

What factors can affect the development and weight gain

Increased weight in children aged 6 months depends on physical development. The weighing indicator is ready to influence the following components:

• hereditary genes transferred by both parents;
