Growth: Babies start to grow and develop from the fist moment of conception. Throughout the whole gestation period. Babies will go through many growth spurts in the first year. This causes babies to nurse longer and more often. These growth spurts typically happen when your baby is around 2-3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months old. But babies growth spurts may not happen at these exact times.
Children constantly grow and the hormone that supports and controls growth is a Hypothalamus hormone called Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone GHRH. This hormone can be impaired by shock and stress.
Changes in children’s height and weight caused by increases in bone, muscle and fat are the most immediate signs that the child is experiencing a growth spurt. Other signs of a growth spurt include: Decrease or increase in appetite. Fussiness or emotional outbursts.
Puberty causes rapid growth around the age of 12 to 14. Boys can change in size exceptionally quickly. Changes in voice, physiology and height occur tat this stage in a young persons life but growth usually slows down and stops at about 20 to 21yrs old.
