I have a cousin with a son, that is in the 5% in height and weight(has been for a while now) and it was pretty much expected because all of the males and females in that detail family are very petite(as in 4ft11-5ft4). The homo she had this child with was besides pretty short(5ft6). And then over again they knew that he was going to be a short boy, as did the doctor. If what happens to your daughter, also happens with my son and it isn't an illness or some delayed growth, I'thousand assuming information technology would be based on him inheriting my short gene(I'm a shortie lol)--since my so is average in meridian. It would be somewhat agreeable because my son started out looking a lot like me(in the confront) only having the "and so'south" infant torso, considering my then had real long legs and artillery every bit a baby, and then did my son the get-go few months of his life. And then overnight he started looking like my "so" and looking less like me, but now his legs look short(I have curt legs) since he hasn't grown whatsoever then it's looking like he might accept the "so'south" face and my trunk. LOL. Anyways at this point just going to wait to hear back from the md and run into how I should proceed. Last edited past sunkisses87; 07-30-2012 at 10:58 PM.. |

| I'm very petite and my husband is of boilerplate height - v' 10". Our son was in the 50th percentile until later on 1 year, when his growth slowed after going through a series of disease (rotovirus, flu, pneumonia). Past age 2, he was low on the charts. Currently at age 9 he'southward in the 5th percentile. Nosotros had a os age study done this twelvemonth and found that his os age was six and his elevation at that time was 50th percentile for a six year onetime. That means he will be average pinnacle but volition get through his puberty growth spurt later than normal. At this indicate, I think it'south premature to worry nigh his height. Every bit long equally he is growing and is healthy, your pediatrician will likely simply go on to rails his growth progress the same as they do for all kids. They tin practice the bone age written report starting around age 5 and tin also check for growth hormone deficiencies. |

| Your son may have just gone through a growth spurt. I don't think babies and toddlers grow at an exactly steady rate from one month to another Still, contact your physician if you are concerned. |

| My child's pediatrician in one case told me that our genes accept a built in range, only that diet does play a role. For instance, my mother was short (5'ane) and the tallest woman in her family unit was about v'five. My father'south side was near the same, with the men topping out at 6'1. I am 5'7 1/2. (At my tallest (high school senior) I was 5'ix, simply pregnancy shortened me). My sisters are 5'6 and 5'iv. Our female cousins are all near that range besides. BUT I was a serious milk drinker every bit a kid. My siblings and cousins preferred koolaid or h2o. My married man is vi'3 - his brothers are 6' and 6'4 - the youngest one being the tallest. The middle brother decided in his late babyhood to join his mother (dh'south stepmom) in her organic diet with their simply meat beingness fish once a calendar week and poultry on holidays. Of course, this is anecdotal. Either way, I wouldn't worry about something you take little or no command over. I know that's easier said than done, and hard to listen to from someone who is taller, but your son doesn't have to let existence 'vertically challenged' concord him back, if that is your fear. Though be on the lookout for "Napolean complex" - some short men endeavour to compensate for their lack of meridian by beingness jerks. |

If both parents are short, and there aren't recessive tall genes on both sides of the family, no amount of nutrition will make a child alpine. There isn't "a" shorty gene, just tiptop is definitely genetic. |

I'm v'4" so I would say that she was just taking later on me...but my older daughter is 10 years old and is already 5'...she'due south always been in the 90th percentile or higher. People always remark on how tall our older girl is, and then tell her she has a cute infant sister. And then my younger one tells them how old she is, and they always tell her she's a really large daughter too, I guess because they realize that she'south really pocket-size for her age. |

He will exist 1 years old in September. He is still on the thin side, he just doesn't like to eat ofttimes... I try to feed him three times day, plus snacks in between and he just doesn't really desire to eat. Continue offering, just practise remember that toddlers stomachs are very modest. Small quantities frequently are fine. Merely offer healthy food and let him eat equally much equally he wants. |
