Growth standards may vary between societies, so it’s important to evaluate a child’s development according to growth charts specific to the local population. The fastest growth phase occurs between birth and one year of age. During the first year, a baby typically grows 24 cm, and from 1 to 2 years, growth averages 12 cm. In the following years, the growth rate slows to 5–6 cm per year.
