Certain anthropometric parameters and serve as guide to understand why nutritional needs at this stage are proportionately so much higher than those of the adult. Weight: The weight at birth is determined by the mother's weight before pregnancy, pregnancy duration and weight gain during the same, ranging between 2.5 and 3.5 kilos.
During the first year of life, birth weight triples. The estimated minimum weighted gain of about 24 grams per day, ie, 1 gram / hour early. In absolute weight gains are 7 kilos in the first year and 2.5 kilos the second. It is normal to lose the baby weight in the first days of life, which recovers between 8 and 12 days.
Size: Passes of 45-50 centimeters (cm) at birth to 75-80 cm per year life (approximately 25 cm), which means an increase of 50% compared to birth size. In the second year only adds about 15-25 cm, and after about 7-10 cm per year.
Teething : It usually starts about 6-8 months. If teething is late and there are no problems with bone growth, may be a family genetic trait.
Psychomotor Development: Towards the 12-14 months the child can start up and interact with the environment.
Development senses: Food plays an important role in the development taste, smell, sight and even touch and hearing.
