Weight is one of the most important indicators of children's health. Weight disorders can occur due to any disease. For example, as a result of stressful situations, a child can recover dramatically or lose weight instantly. Also, one of the risk factors is a violation of proper and balanced nutrition. So experts recommend monitoring your child's body weight and weighing him periodically.
Instructions
Step 1
Weight indicators for boys and girls are very different. Healthy girls tend to weigh slightly less than boys. Even newborn boys and girls are in different weight classes. Pediatricians have derived the standard weights for boys and girls from birth to 10 years. A deviation from the average guideline readings below will indicate a weight imbalance that parents should pay close attention to.
Step 2
For newborn girls, an acceptable weight is 3200 grams. For half-year-olds - 7300 grams. In a year, the weight of a girl should be about 8900 grams, and for one and a half year old, the best weight indicator will be 10,000 grams.
Step 3
Two-year-old girls should weigh about 11,500 grams, and at two and a half years old, it should reach 12,500 grams. Moreover, parents should understand that a decrease in the rate of weight gain is the norm for this period.
Step 4
By the age of three, girls should weigh 13,900 grams, and at three and a half years, they should reach the level of 14,800 grams. At four years old, the standard weight should be 16100 grams, in the next six months the child will add 100 grams per month, and at 5 years old the scales will show 18000-18200 grams.
Step 5
By school, the child will gain up to 22 kilograms and this weight will last until the second grade, when at the age of eight, a stable normative increase of 100-150 grams per month begins again. For a nine-year-old girl, it should be 28,200 grams, and for a ten-year-old girl, 31,900 grams. With an indicator of 38 kg, doctors record obesity, everything else is within normal limits.
Step 6
For newborn boys, the optimal weight is 3400 grams, children weighing more than 4 kg at birth automatically fall into the risk group and are monitored by a patronage nurse. In general, a large birth weight is not considered a sign of health, and therefore large fruits are always examined more carefully, additional studies are prescribed.
Step 7
By 6 months, the baby will gain 7600 grams. In one-year-old boys, the weight indicator should reach 10,000 grams, and in one and a half-year-olds, it should be 11,300 grams.
Step 8
At two years old, the scales should show about 12600 grams, and at two and a half years - 13700 grams. Three-year-old boys should weigh about 14,800 grams, and three and a half - 15,600 grams.
Step 9
At four years old, the normal weight is 16400 grams, for the next year and a half, the baby will gain 150-200 grams per month, and a five-year-old boy should weigh 18300 grams, and a six-year-old - 20400 grams.
Step 10
A 7-year-old first grader should ideally weigh 22-23 kilograms, and at 8 years old - 25, 5. For a nine-year-old baby, the most optimal weight is 28 kilograms, and for a ten-year-old 31 - 32.
