Definition. Labor induction â also known as inducing labor â is a procedure used to stimulate uterine contractions during pregnancy before labor begins on its own. Successful labor induction leads to a vaginal birth.
Rate of change in height (height velocity) is a more sensitive measure of growth than time-specific height measures. In general, healthy term infants and children grow about 2.5 cm/mo between birth and 6 mo, 1.3 cm/mo from 7 to 12 mo, and about 7.6 cm/yr between 12 mo and 10 yr.
While all children may grow at a different rate, the following indicates the average for 1-year-old boys and girls: Weight: average gain of about 8 ounces each month, birthweight has tripled by the end of the first year Height: average growth of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch each month.
