How a baby is fed may be as important as what foods are offered. Your baby is growing in leaps and bounds. The first year, a baby multiplies his weight by 3 and his size increases by 50%!

Infographic of children's height growth. In the first year they are expected to gain 25cm. In the second and third year 12.5cm and 9cm, respectively. Between the ages of 2-3 years they will reach 50% of their adult height.

Every baby has his own growth rate. This is why it is recommended to note his weight and size every month during his first 3 years

Infographic of children's weight gain. At 6 months they double their initial weight. At 1 year they triple and 2 years they quadruple. If a baby is born with 3kg, at 6 months he will be 6kg, at 1 year he will be 9kg, and at 2 years he will be 12kg.

Follow your baby’s evolution with our developmental milestones.

Babies and toddlers are known to successfully self-regulate the amount of daily energy that they eat, however, this natural ability can be influenced by a parents’ feeding practices.
