The weight of a child is 7 months
All the parameters can be viewed in the corresponding tables.
They usually indicate the main indicators used to assess the development of babies. It is worth noting that in different sources there may be values that are different. This indicates that all indicators are conditional.
So the norm of the child's weight in 7 months according to the table can be from 8,3 to 8,9 kg. But not all healthy children will meet these criteria. The result will depend on the sex of the baby. Boys can reach 9.2 kg. The lower limit of the norm for them can be considered 7.4 kg, for girls this figure is 6.8 kg.
Also, to assess the weight of a child at 7 months, you can use the table of increases.
They show how many kilograms a child needs to pick up during the first year. According to them, for half a year the girl should gain 2.4-6.5 kg. In boys, these values are equal to 2.6-7.5 kg. In the second half of the year, the body weight will increase much more slowly.
How much the child weighs in 7 months, depends also on heredity. Therefore, a qualified doctor will not rely solely on the results of measurement. They are necessary so that you can notice any deviations in time. For example, a doctor will be alerted if a child does not gain weight at 7 months or has decreased since the last measurement.
Here are the possible reasons:
- problems with food;
recent illnesses; - pathology in the body.
How much should a child weigh in 7 months sometimes counted on the principle:
Baby weight = birth weight (gram) + 800 * 6 + 400 * (N-6), where N is the age of the child. It is indicated in months.
This formula is used to calculate the normal body weight of those children who at birth were weighed less than normal, for example, if the baby was premature. Calculations are relevant for the baby from 6 months to a year.
