Question
My baby is actually 3 years and 8 months old, with a height of 97 cm and a weight of only 25 jin. The daily food intake is not large, intelligence activities are normal. What are the growth indicators for a 3-year-8-month-old baby?
Answer
Childhood is a critical period for growth and development, with weight and height being one of the most important indicators reflecting a child’s growth. According to the current situation, the child, who is 3 years and 8 months old, is only 97 centimeters tall and weighs 12.5 kilograms, which is slightly below the average height and weight. The child’s daily food intake is relatively low, which may lead to developmental abnormalities caused by malnutrition. It is recommended to check blood routine, liver function, growth hormone, and thyroid hormone secretion status to clarify the reasons for slow growth and to enhance nutritional supplementation, participate in outdoor activities more often, and promote growth and development.
