The growth of babies and children is one of the aspects that most concern parents during the early years. A healthy diet is essential for the optimal growth of children. Sleep is another factor that, decisively, influences the development of our children. Genetics and certain diseases can determine the rate of growth during childhood.

The weight and size of the baby depend on factors such as genetics or sleep. Most parents are concerned about how their babies grow, and, normally, questions arise: will it be growing well? Parents are concerned about appetite, weight, and factors affecting health.

Several factors influence the growth rate of children: genetic inheritance, food, sleep, or diseases that can contract in their first years of life. If you suspect that your child may have a developmental problem, consult your pediatrician to provide a more accurate diagnosis and perform the necessary tests on your child.

Genes influence our weight and size as well as determine the color of our eyes. If the parents are tall or short, the baby probably is too.

Food also plays an important role in the growth rate of babies.
- Some mothers opt for breastfeeding to feed their baby from birth.
- Others bottle- feed their baby for different reasons.

Both options are perfectly valid, as they provide all the necessary nutrients for the proper development and growth of our baby.

The important thing is to check that the baby gains weight regularly. In older children, feeding is also essential for their physical and intellectual development. For this reason, it is advisable to follow a balanced diet and avoid abuse of fats and bakery products, as they favor childhood obesity.

The sleep plays a restorative function in babies.
During sleep, our body secretes growth hormone, which is why it is especially important to help you sleep and respect your sleep schedules.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) provides useful guidelines on the amount of time children need to sleep at different stages of development. Keep in mind that these figures reflect total sleep time in a 24-hour period. So if your child still takes naps, you need to take this time into account when adding up the typical hours of sleep.
