Question
What are the standard height and weight for a 6-month-old baby? My baby was born with a height of 48 cm and a weight of 2.5 kg, and now at 6 months old, the height is 59.5 cm and the weight is 6.2 kg. The baby is very hungry but unwilling to drink formula milk. What should I do? How was the past treatment and its effectiveness? I’m concerned about how to make the baby taller and how to get the baby to drink milk?
Answer
Your baby’s height and weight are normal. It’s unclear whether your baby is on formula feeding or mixed feeding. The baby’s reluctance to drink formula milk might be due to a lack of trace elements, such as zinc and iron, which can lead to poor appetite, or calcium deficiency which may affect growth. You can conduct a trace element test and make appropriate supplements based on the results. In addition to paying attention to nutrition, you can also provide the baby with other foods such as egg yolks and juices. These are suggestions for the question ‘What is the average height and weight of a 6-month-old baby?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you health.
