Is it normal for a nine-month-old baby to be only 73 cm tall?

Patient's question:

Born, from birth to six months, height and weight were normal, and from six months to now, both height and weight have not increased. Usually, he eats and drinks a lot and is in good spirits. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of assistance is needed: What is the reason?

Doctor's answer:

A 3-month-old baby measuring 73 cm in height is normal, as a 1-year-old baby's height is only 75 cm. You mentioned that the baby hasn't grown much in height and weight after 6 months, which might be because growth becomes less noticeable after the first three months, as babies grow fastest before that point and then the growth rate slows down. This is the advice for the question "Is it normal for a 9-month-old baby to be only 73 cm tall?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
