Does Nutritional Deficiency Cause Poor Weight And Height Gain In A Toddler?
My baby s weight percentile dropped from 50 at 5 months of age to 3 at 1 year. Her height has dropped from 90 percentile at 8 months to 25 percentile at 1 year. I m very worried. We started her on solids from 5 months. I m a working mom and I breastfeed her when I return home. I m very worried if she is suffering from any nutritional problem.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your baby has the signs that she is not taking the right nutrition.
Her weight gain and her growth are not progresssive.
For this reason i suggest to talk with her pediatrician abut the right nutritional regymen for her.
A healthy diet is very important for her physical and cognitive development.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care
