Height and weight standards for one- and four-month-old babies
At four months of age, the height and weight standards for male and female babies are slightly different. The average height of male babies is 61.5 cm and the average weight is 7.2 kg; the average height of female babies is 60.1 cm and the average weight is 6.6 kg. However, it should be noted that each baby\’s growth and development is unique, so not all four-month-old babies will fully meet these standards.
What can a two- or four-month-old baby do?
At four months of age, many babies can already lift their heads and hold them for a while, and can also move from a supine to side position. They become interested in their surroundings and can focus on moving objects. In addition, they can make a variety of sounds and try to imitate adult speech.
Dietary needs of three- and four-month-old babies
At four months of age, breast milk or formula is still the main dietary source. If your child is already eating solid foods, you should choose foods that are easy to digest and rich in nutrients, and avoid added salt or sugar.
Sleep needs of babies aged four and four months
A four-month-old baby needs 14-15 hours of sleep a day, including one or two daytime naps. In addition, they may have begun to experience problems such as waking up at night and insomnia. This is normal, and parents should patiently help their children establish healthy sleep habits.
Vaccination for babies aged five and four months
At the age of four months, babies need to receive the second dose of pentavalent vaccine, the second dose of pneumococcal vaccine and the second dose of oral rotavirus vaccine. These vaccines are effective in preventing many common childhood infectious diseases.
Development assessment of six- and four-month-old babies
At the age of four months, the doctor will conduct a developmental assessment of the child, including height and weight, head circumference, vision and hearing, etc. If the child has any developmental problems, timely intervention is required.
