condition of children is always worried parents and health parameters and newborns are particularly important.During this period, only the body adapts to live in our world.Activated systems and organs that are in the womb did not function: respiratory, digestive and others.Now the child not only to breathe himself, but he digests food.Its further growth and weight gain in the newborn are entirely dependent only on his intestine and enzymes from the digestive system.And if the baby gets the mother's milk, which is the most adapted for his needs, then bottle-forced to digest what was given.Now no one needs to be persuaded of the benefits of breastfeeding, but not all mothers are willing to make some sacrifices and restrictions in order to preserve milk.
What is the rate of weight gain in newborns?Immediately after birth the baby loses a little weight.Normally, the loss of 5-7%, but the loss of 10% can also be normal.Especially a lot of weight to lose big, post-term children.On the third day the child first adds a few grams, and from that point begins its growth.
Thus, in the first month of life weight gain in newborns are uneven: negative and then positive.Therefore, the increase for the first month in the norm of 600-800 grams.It is not always weight gain in newborn correct.Every kid is different: it depends on the appetite of health, the state of the intestines and nervous system, and even the mood and menus mother.Therefore we can not expect that every newborn in 30 days will be exactly 600 or 800 grams heavier.For example, the weight gain of a newborn if it is born management of small, sometimes faster than large and plump babies at birth.Often skinny babies suck almost around the clock, while their heavier peers long sleep.
Table set weight infants have a pediatrician and by reading it and comparing it with the achievements of their child's mother is surprised by the order.In one month, a baby can be a difficult 1.2 or even half a kilogram, that is twice the norm.
Overall, the rate of weight gain in infants of the first six months of life is at 1 kilogram per month.This estimated figure for a child who is breastfed, it almost does not matter.If your baby is eating my mother's milk, while his urination occurs at least 12 times a day, it does not matter how much he has added in the past month.This could be 750 grams, and 1.5 kg.It is important to set the weight of the newborn, who is bottle-fed.Breast milk is impossible to overfeed, and mix - easily.It is therefore important to make sure that the baby is not gaining weight too quickly, otherwise he will face additional challenges.Obesity at an early age makes it difficult to motor development, may affect the metabolism.
baby, of course, to grow, and usually it does it fast enough.But there are things that parents should worry much more: for example, psychomotor development.Instead of weighing the baby after each feeding, it is better to buy a little longer, or have a massage.It is much more pleasant and helpful.
