A. the height of the child depends upon the genetic patterns as well as the diet the child is taking. so meet your doctor who will tell you whether it is within the normal limits according to the height of the parents or not. the doctor will calculate mid parental height and then tell you whether any intervention in the form of supplements is required or not. it is advisable that the child should take some amount of cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits daily according to the age of the child. regular physical activity is also important to increase the weight and height of the child. meet the dr for advice e

A. So If you feel that your child is not gaining appropriate height as per the age then you should consult your doctor sometimes due to a little bit of disorder also the height can stop so it is better to consult an expert in this area because after proper checkup only you can get an exact idea as to where it is going wrong and what is needed to be done
