What Do 6.5 Kg Of Weight And 68cms Of Height In A 11 Month Old Indicate?
Question: have a baby 11 months old.. her birth weight is 3.2. Now she is only 6.5 kg and 68 cms. Please let me know is it normal or anything she is lagging. Other than the weight she is not walking
Brief Answer:
it is below normal range
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
1. Both height and weight are below the normal range. To be specific they are below 5th percentile.
Your baby definitely needs a complete medical examination to rule out vitamin mineral or protein deficiency. I usually prescribe vitamins and iron supplements after examining.
Walking may take upto 15 months, no need to worry on that.
But for her current growth parameters she definitely needs a thorough checkup and supplements as required.
Wishing your child good health.
