🇺🇸Is your child’s check-up with the pediatrician up to date? 👩🏼⚕️🩺
During routine visits, one of the most important measurements a pediatrician evaluates is growth rate. Monitoring growth is essential to ensure your child is developing properly and to identify any concerns early, so timely interventions can be made if necessary.
Changes in growth may be related to conditions such as hormonal disorders, early puberty, or other health issues that require medical evaluation.
📏 Expected growth by age:
• 0–1 year: ~25 cm/year
• 1–3 years: ~12.5 cm/year
• 3 years to the start of puberty: ~5–7 cm/year
🔺 Pubertal growth spurt:
• Girls: ~8–10 cm/year
• Boys: ~10–12 cm/year
Monitoring and intervening at the right time can make a huge difference in a child’s growth, health, and overall well-being.
