physical growth
To compute the average height of the toddler,
age in years multiply by five, then add 80 equals to the height in cm.
Weight gain is approximately 11 lb (5 kg) during this time, and birth weight quadrupled by 2 1/2 years.
Toddler
The formula to calculate the normal weight of children over one year of age is:
Age in years multiply by two, then add 8 equals the weight of the toddler in kg. For example, compute for the weight of a child aging four years? = 4 X 2 + 8 = 16 kg.
The head circumference from 1-2 years of age equals to
chest circumference.
