When spouses start planning a family, they instantly have a variety of questions that need answers. Very often people are interested in what are the norms of the anthropometric data of a healthy baby in his first year, since it is very difficult to imagine what a small person should be when you yourself are tens of times larger than him. The table can help you with this.
The anthropometric data of the children indicated there are not an absolute norm, therefore, in any case, you will need to communicate with your doctor about this. However, many people feel more comfortable if they know at least some meaning. And this table will help you.
The anthropometric data of children in it are recorded for the age of up to a year, and they are given in an abridged version - only for a newborn child, a child who is six months old and, finally, a year old.

Explanations
The table "Anthropometric data of children" can be confusing for some people, so you should immediately comment on it. So, it presents the values of the main parameters in the three moments of the life of a small person.
The first indicator is the first month of his birth, the second is six months from birth, and the third is the year. You can see what its normal weight should be, how tall it should be, as well as the girth of the chest and the exact same parameter for the head at each of these time intervals. This table helps you perfectly.
Anthropometric data of children are indicated not only absolute - you can also find the average increase in weight and height at a particular stage of development of the child. All these data should help you to find your way around how healthy your child is growing and progressing.
Anthropometric data of children under one year old change quite quickly, so you need to carefully monitor them. Naturally, this is far from all that you can find out - doctors can tell you much more by writing specifically for your child the predicted indicators for both the first year of life and several years in advance. This will allow you to remain aware of how well your child is growing up physically, and if you begin to notice any abnormalities, you can immediately consult a doctor to find out if this is a problem.
