Should I Be Concerned About Child's Concave Chest And Round Stomach?
My son in 9 months old and was born with a concave chest. It looks like his ribs almost flare out . He looks like he has Buddha belly and has been round like that since birth. He's in 17.34 lbs and 27 inches and his dr says he's fine . Should I be concerned?

Infants mostly abdomen will not be scaphoid its always like that only as the head grows the disproportionate body shape comes to normal.
Flaring of ribs you can show him sunlight as vit d deficiency is common or u can wait and watch upto 11/2 year
