How should I deal with a 2-year-old who is not very tall?

Patient's question:

My baby is 2 years old and is only 81 cm tall. Is this normal? She can call "Mommy," "Daddy," "sister," "aunt," but doesn't know how to say "grandma" or "grandpa." Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you want: Is the baby's height normal?

Doctor's answer:

The child is two years old and only 81 cm tall, which is a bit short. It's important to pay attention to their care, ensuring a balanced diet with plenty of meat and protein-rich foods, as well as regular exercise. Have a thorough check-up for trace elements to see if there are any deficiencies in calcium or zinc. You can also take calcium supplements to promote the child's growth and development. It's recommended that you visit a children's hospital for a detailed examination. If the check-up shows no problems, then focus on ( means adjusting and nurturing) the child in daily life, and there's no need to worry.
