POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. At 1 year and 5 months (17 months), the average height for a boy is around 81 to 84 cm. However, a healthy range can vary between 78 cm to 87 cm, depending on genetics, nutrition, and overall health.
If your child’s height is slightly below average but he is active, eating well, and growing steadily over time, it’s usually not a cause for concern. To help improve height naturally:
Ensure a balanced diet rich in proteins, calcium, iron, and vitamins (like vitamin D). Encourage physical activity like crawling, walking, or supervised play. Get enough sleep, as growth hormone is mostly released during sleep. Regular pediatric checkups can track growth progress and address any concerns early.
If you're worried about a noticeable delay in growth, it’s best to consult a pediatrician for a growth chart assessment.
