The height of the baby is a matter of great concern to parents, and when parents see their babies are not short for their age, they can’t say how anxious they are. But this kind of thing is not to be rushed. Here are some tips for you, try it! 1, not in the rapid growth period fall behind Human growth can be divided into four stages, namely fetal, infant, child and adolescence. Any one stage of growth retardation can cause the final short stature. Among them, infancy and adolescent development, are two growth peaks. This stage of infancy is the fastest growth rate and the period most susceptible to disturbance by external factors. Don’t let your child fall behind in the rapid growth period. The child’s growth and development have certain rules, if the right time to take the right approach, will naturally play a half-hearted effect, so the growth of the rapid period can not be missed, mothers and fathers should be prepared in advance, so that the baby in the growth of the golden period to keep pace. 2, balanced nutrition is not partial diet Nowadays, children’s protein intake is quite a lot, but the intake of micronutrients is often insufficient due to partial diet. Some parents think that strengthening nutrition is to eat more chicken, duck and fish, can not eat or eat less food. In fact, the energy needed by the body is mainly obtained from carbohydrates, and protein can only be fully utilized by the body if there is sufficient energy. However, too much protein intake, increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, easy to cause indigestion, constipation, but suppress the appetite of children. Some children are over-nourished resulting in obesity, which can easily trigger precocious puberty and eventually short stature. The smart mother should pay attention to the reasonable mix of diet, do not let the child eat too much snacks and affect the intake of important nutrients. 3, daily exercise can not be missing physical activity is the most effective way to “pull up”. Exercise can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, promote metabolism, enhance appetite, can promote bone growth, so that the bones become longer, thicker, bone density increases, but also make muscle fibers thicker, improve muscle strength, speed and endurance, but also in the rapid growth period to prevent obesity. 4, sufficient sleep to grow higher Promote the human body to grow taller hormone – growth hormone, the secretion in the sleep state is about three times the amount secreted in the waking state. Sleep muscle relaxation, conducive to joint and bone stretching. 5, do not let the disease drag the leg Repeated respiratory infections and diarrhea can significantly hinder the growth and development of children. Long-term diseases such as chronic infections, chronic hepatitis, chronic nephritis, asthma, heart disease, anemia, etc. can affect height growth. In addition, major diseases such as chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine disorders, and bone and cartilage development disorders can also result in significantly lower height than children of the same age. There is an increasing number of children with precocious puberty, which seriously affects the physical development of children. Precocious children may be taller than their peers at the beginning, but once they enter puberty, other children develop normally, while precocious children grow slowly due to the lack of reproductive capacity of bone cell division; a large amount of sex hormones also prompt the epiphyseal cartilage to close prematurely, making growth stop automatically. The premature growth of a child’s height is often a sign of premature sexual maturity, which needs to be taken seriously by parents. 6, measuring bone age to predict growth Bone age is the most reliable indicator of human maturity. Abnormally early or backward bone age can reflect the adverse factors affecting growth and development. Based on bone age, actual age and height, adult height can be predicted. Predicting height can avoid missing the best time for treatment or unnecessary treatment. If your baby has height problems, you should go to the hospital to measure the bone age in time. 7, growth and development file timely guidance Combining the bone age and predicted height values at different times, you can determine whether the development is normal. For different situations of height of children and adolescents, a targeted guidance and treatment plan is formulated. If the height is not ideal, but the bone age has basically matured, even if there is not much room for growth, it is still possible to realize the last growth potential through reasonable guidance.
