1-year-old height and weight do not meet normal levels

Patient's question:

.5 years old
Current general condition: Weight 9KG; Height 85CM
My daughter was weaned early, only breastfeeding for two months, and consumed very little formula before her first birthday. Due to her grandmother's prejudice against me and her deliberate attempts to take out her frustrations on my daughter, she was frequently hospitalized during her care before turning one. After turning one, she was raised by her grandmother, who still struggled with feeding her. She loves snacks like fruits, fruit jelly, and puffed snacks, and is particularly fond of eating instant noodles dry.
Although she doesn’t get sick often now, her height and weight are not at the normal level.
I am 1.55m tall; my husband is...

Doctor's answer:

Hello: If a child experiences night sweats, it is important to identify the cause promptly and provide appropriate treatment. For physiological night sweats, medication is generally not recommended; instead, measures should be taken to eliminate factors that contribute to high body temperature in daily life. For example, if excessive activity before bed or consuming high-calorie foods before sleep leads to sweating at night, it is necessary to control the child's pre-sleep activity level and food intake. This can also help improve sleep and control childhood obesity, contributing to the child's physical and mental health. Some children may sweat excessively at night due to excessively high room temperature or overly thick bedding. In winter, the bedroom temperature should be around 24℃ to 28℃; the thickness of the bedding should be adjusted according to changes in the weather. Generally speaking, if parents are aware of these easily identifiable triggers for increased heat production and take steps to address them, the likelihood of night sweats will naturally decrease. Even if a child occasionally sweats excessively once or twice, there is no need to worry excessively, as night sweats primarily result in the loss of water and salt, which can be fully replenished through a balanced daily diet.
For children with pathological night sweats, treatment should be targeted at the underlying cause. If night sweats are caused by calcium deficiency, appropriate supplementation with calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D should be provided, along with the following measures:
(1) Increase exposure to sunlight, including outdoor light and reflected light. Outdoor activities are recommended, as exposure through glass is less effective.
(2) Strongly advocate breastfeeding.
(3) Premature infants, twins, or children with frequent diarrhea or other digestive disorders should be given additional vitamin D supplementation.
(4) In northern rural areas or cold regions, vitamin D should be administered according to a planned schedule.
