Many mothers are very serious about their children's height and weight.
Naturally, every child has a different rate of growth and development and it has also been observed that there is a significant difference in height and weight between children of the same age, so this does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong.
In this regard, pediatricians discussed this issue and shed light on the reasons for it.
They said that a normal baby is born weighing only three or three kilograms, and its length is about 20 inches, the baby's weight increases rapidly in the early days and it weighs up to nine kilograms in one year.
Doctors said that after one year this speed decreases, now the child will gain 2 to 2.5 kg weight and height up to 6 cm in a year. However, there may be some obstacles due to lack of nutrition which must be addressed.
Also, how much time he gets to play sports or how much sleep he gets or not. If he is spending his energy on playing sports, his body will get less nutrients, which will also slow down the rate of weight gain.
He said that girls gain height from 8 to 13 years of age, while boys gain weight from 10 to 16 years of age, after which growth usually stops.
