Patient's question:
Baby is 2 months and 9 days old. Today, during the check-up, the weight was 12.5 kg, and the height was 56 cm. Seeing other babies are all in their 60s, why is my baby so short? Is there anything lacking? My baby has dark and long hair. I give them AD supplements and breastfeed them exclusively, but their height isn't growing. Additional information: My baby's birth height was 50 cm.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's excessive worry. Every child has their own growth and development pattern. As long as the child is comfortable and has a balanced diet, there's nothing to worry about. The speed of a child's growth and development, as well as their height, is somewhat related to intergenerational inheritance, accounting for about 70%. If you want your child to grow tall, you should start supplementing their nutrition and ensuring they get enough deep sleep now.
