70、in Bristol in the 1990s.It showed that 507 who were slow to gain weight in the first eight weeks of life recovered fairly quickly and had almost caught up by age 2.Another group of 480 who were slow to gain weight between eight weeks and nine months continued to put on weight slowly until they were
71、seven years old，but then had a sudden increase and caught up by age 13.Researchers said the results would make parents whose babies fail to put on weight quickly less worried.The different patterns of recovery between the two groups were likely due to different reasons for slow weight gain.All the c
72、hildren were still lighter and shorter than their peers by the time they were teenagers，but within the normal range.The findings show the importance of monitoring a babys weight and height gain during the first few weeks and months，but not creating anxiety with parents of slowgrowing babies，said the
73、 study leader Prof.Alan Emond from the University of Bristol.“In the past，a lot of parents have been caused unnecessary anxiety by health professionals and this is a positive message.”He said in many cases of slow growth where children do not follow the standard“curve(曲线)”，it is just because they ar
74、e following their genetic(基因的) potential.Dr Simon Newell，vicepresident for training and assessment at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health，said he broadly agreed with the conclusions of the researchers but stressed that poor weight gain was something that needed to be monitored closely.
75、“I would encourage parents to use growth charts but if measurements show your baby is smaller than average it may be completely normal，”he said. 【参考范文】According to a study，babies gaining weight slowly during their first weeks or months after birth can reach the same weight level as their peers by 13.Therefore，parents with slowgrowing babies neednt be overanxious about that.Babies slow growth is probably influenced by their genetic potential.However，parents are encouraged to keep track of their babies weight by means of growth charts to ensure their normal growth.
