At the age of one year and ten months, the height is only 80 cm. Is it dwarfism?

Patient's question:

Born 53 cm, 71 cm at one year old, 76 cm at one and a half years old, 78 cm at eight months old

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
Hello, the average height of a normal child at 2 years old is around 85 cm.
Suggestions:
From the growth data of 71 cm at 1 year, 76 cm at 1.5 years, and 78 cm at 8 months, the annual growth rate is normal, with nearly 10 cm of growth. Therefore, it does not qualify as a case of short stature. For children aged 2-10 years (or 12 years), an annual growth of about 5-7 cm is considered normal. If you want your child to grow taller, it is recommended to enhance nutrition, ensure a diversified diet, avoid picky eating, and encourage regular outdoor activities. Maintain good sleep quality and avoid going to bed too late.
