Patient's question:
Hello, both my husband and I are relatively short in height. He is 166 cm, and I am 150 cm. I'm wondering if there's a low chance that our future child will grow tall. This has been a constant concern for me. How can we help our future child have a taller height? What should we do during pregnancy and in the early stages of the child's life to support their growth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, parents' height does affect children, but children's height is also related to postnatal nutrition and exercise. It is recommended that after a child is born, they consume more milk and other calcium-rich foods, pay attention to participating in jumping exercises, such as frog jumps and playing basketball. Maintain a cheerful mood, regularly do physical check-ups during the child's growth process, avoid picky eating, exercise more, ensure the child gets enough sleep, and grow up healthy and happy.
