Short Height Of 69cm In A 9 Mth Old Baby. Would It Cause Problem In Future?
Hi, Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic. Was he preterm? The height and weight depends on his birth weight and length. At birth, his length is at lower end, so it is now also in the lower range on growth charts. Height usually depends on parents and family height also. Look and rule any underlying bone and endocrinal problems such as hypothyroidism with physical examination and investigations. Monitor his height and weight on growth charts. Consult the doctor for examination and to look for any underlying problems. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
