A. There is usually a certain percentile of children in every range. So some kids are tall and some average. Aldo depends on hereditary. Your baby is still small and still there is time to increase the height. So i guess your baby' s height is fine for now.

A. At times Skinny looks and height are related to genetic reasons. If father or mother was skinny during their babyhood or of less height then it could certainly reflect in the kid. For weight concerns you need not worry as long as the kid eats properly and is healthy and active. For height you can encourage him to do push ups, play basket ball or any sport where he can hop often. Include nutritious vegetables and fruits, pulses, nuts and dry fruits in his regular diet.

A. he is very small for the height concern. .. he will grow by his own.. most of the baby grow up in height in their teenage.. If you want you can encourage him to increase his height when he is in his childhood .. Engage him in sports activities like swimming, basketball, skipping, stretching, etc in his teenage... Also include milk and dairy products, tofu, soyabean, carrot, spinach, peas, pumpkin, cabbage, green beans, banana, grape, papaya, water melon, mango, oats, nuts, flax seed, pumpkin seeds, etc in his diet so don't worry too much... please consult the pediatrician regarding the vitamin D defficiency.. sometimes vitamin D defficiency leads to less height growth too..
