How to deal with a three-year-old who is growing slowly

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Factors affecting height include both congenital and postnatal influences. Postnatal nutrition is particularly important. It is recommended to consume more protein, especially foods rich in "amino acids," such as: flour, wheat germ, beans, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, seaweed, beef, chicken, liver, pork leg meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and dark-colored vegetables. Desserts and similar foods should be avoided as much as possible. Soft drinks and fruit juices should also be consumed in moderation, as they contain high levels of sugar, which can hinder calcium absorption.
