It is normal that the baby is no longer chubby.
Before 6 months, the baby can do too few movements. At most, he can only look up, turn over, move his hands and feet, and play on his stomach. Most of the time, he is lying down or being held, which consumes too little energy. As they learn more and more movements, of course they will consume more and more energy.
Is chubby healthier? Think too much
Excessive growth is not conducive to the health of the baby. On the contrary, obesity in infancy not only affects the health of the child, but also is closely related to the occurrence of metabolic syndrome in adulthood. The risk of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiac sleep respiratory disorders, cerebrovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, etc.) is significantly higher than that of other children.
Is the child really thin? Look at the curve
As long as the corresponding point of the child’s weight-height/length data is between the top and bottom black lines, and there is no big fluctuation for a long time, then the baby’s growth is good and belongs to the category of health.
What do you think of the growth curve?
- Regular inspection, look at the trend, don’t just look at one point, can’t separate height and weight, don’t take [average] as a reference standard
