Why is the baby not growing taller

Patient's question:

The baby is only three months old and has been gaining weight steadily, almost an ounce a day, but the height hasn't increased much. I don't know what's going on. Isn't it said that infants in the first few months are not affected by generational inheritance?

Doctor's answer:

Normal newborns typically weigh about 3 kilograms at birth. In the first six months after birth, they grow by 0.7 kilograms each month, and in the following year, they grow by 0.5 kilograms each month. Additionally, every baby's growth and development is different. At birth, their height is usually around 50 centimeters. In the first six months after birth, they grow by 2.5 centimeters each month, and in the following year, they grow by 1.5 centimeters each month. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby has been gaining weight steadily since birth at 3 months," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
