As a new parent nothing can be more triggering than to be told that the child does not look healthy. Not only do you start to question your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/parenting-guide-101-best-advice-for-first-time-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">parenting<\/a>, but worse still you are really worried that there is truth in their observations and the child may actually be unhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is everything that you need to know about the baby\u2019s growth to allay your fears. With this handy chart that plots the child\u2019s weight against their height, you can check for yourself that the child is adhering to the standard norms. A word of caution here- beyond the charts, too, there are a number of aspects to watch out for that are different for each baby. While we will point out the major ones for your benefit here, if you see any signs that worry you, reach out to the child\u2019s pediatrician without any delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

id=\"Handy_Parenting_tips_and_aspects_to_watch_out_for\"><\/span>Handy Parenting tips and aspects to watch out for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the standardized growth chart, it will help you to keep an eye on the following aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pregnancy_Health\"><\/span>Pregnancy Health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before the child is born, a sound pregnancy goes a long way in impacting the child. Aspects such as the mother\u2019s weight, activity levels, stress levels, and more have a strong bearing on the health of the yet-to-be-born child. It is also important to remember that for women exposed to persistent low nutritional status and high-energy expenditure, the predisposition towards bearing low-birth-weight infants is that much higher. It is, therefore, prudent to maintain good physical and mental health during pregnancy to ensure child&#8217;s health. Not only that, but even before one plans the pregnancy, it will help to look at the following aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Control diabetes and other medical conditions.<br>\u25cf Avoid smoking, drinking, and drug use.<br>\u25cf Achieve a healthy weight.<br>\u25cf Avoid stress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breastfeeding\"><\/span>Breastfeeding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that breast milk helps with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Supplying all the necessary nutrients in the proper proportions.<br>\u25cf Breast milk has immunological and anti-inflammatory properties <br>\u25cf Protection against allergies, sickness, and obesity.<br>\u25cf Protection against diseases like diabetes and cancer.<br>\u25cf Protection against infections such as ear infections.<br>\u25cf Babies have healthier weights as they grow.<br>\u25cf It is easily digested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the child on breastfeed, therefore gives him or her the best start for a healthy life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleep_Hygiene\"><\/span>Sleep Hygiene<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that if babies sleep better, they grow better? Research shows that a newborn (0\u20133 months old) needs about 14\u201318 hours of sleep; an infant (4\u201311 months old) needs 12\u201315 hours, and a toddler (1\u20132 years old) needs 11\u201314 hours of sleep every day. Sleep, along with nutrition, allows a baby to go through all the physical developmental stages as well as to impact brain development, and facilitate learning, thinking, language development, and behavior formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balanced_Diet\"><\/span>Balanced Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An age appropriate balanced diet goes a long way in the child adhering to developmental milestones. As the child grows and begins to consume food, make sure that a balanced diet rich in minerals, proteins, vitamins and fats is offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the above aspects, you also need to keep in mind that each child is different. It will be prudent, therefore, not to compare the child with another and get worked up unless you are witnessing developmental delays. Some of the aspects to be mindful of that make every child unique include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Genetics often sets out a road map for the development of the child.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A child\u2019s development is also a function of the length of the pregnancy. Needless to say, a child born preterm will weigh less than a child born at full term.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any medical conditions that the mother suffers from could also have an impact on the child. For instance if the mother suffers from diabetes or high blood pressure, they could impact the weight of the child.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Sum_Up\"><\/span>To Sum Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the above act as broad guidelines, please note that you need to bring any issues that you suspect to the notice of the child\u2019s doctor. Early detection and diagnosis can make a world of difference to your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a aria-label=\"Footprints (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/\">Footprints Preschool<\/a><\/a>, a preschool that has emerged as a parenting partner for parents across the country, our wish is for you to raise healthy, happy children!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you got your infant ready to attend his first-ever family gathering with a lot of excitement but came back mortified with people\u2019s comments on the child looking very \u201c weak\u201d or even \u201cmalnourished\u201d?

He co-founded Footprints after recognising a fundamental gap: working parents in India needed a childcare option that combined genuine safety, research-backed curriculum, and real-time parent connectivity. A certified life coach with deep exposure to behavioural science and developmental psychology, Purvesh leads parenting workshops and engagement programmes across Footprints centres \u2014 directly engaging with tens of thousands of Indian parents on the challenges of raising young children in urban India. As a parent himself, he brings lived experience to every piece he writes on child behaviour, tantrums, discipline, habit formation, and school readiness. His writing is grounded in both the science of early childhood development and the real, daily decisions Indian parents face.","url":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/author\/purvesh-sharma\/"}]}},"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
