There are height and weight ranges for children which is indicated on Growth Charts. His height is normal, however, his weight is below the Growth chart for his age. You stated he is teething which some children do not feel well from it. Their appetite can decrease. Suggest you feed him small meals 5-6 times a day to help increase his weight and maybe it will decrease his ‘stomach aches’, as you stated.
Overall, the study included 107 children with an average age of 11 years, of which 55% were male and 82% were Caucasian. At baseline, all children displayed a normal height, weight, BMI, and body composition. During the treatment, the team observed that some patients showed a reduction of up to 0.5 per unit in height, weight, and BMI z scores (standard deviation scores), discovering that 33% of children in the 48-week treatment group had a reduction of ≥ 0.5 in their height-for-age z score.

At 13, most teenagers are well into puberty and may be in the middle of or about to embark on growth spurts. Their height and weight may go through many changes in their teen years.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average height for a 13-year-old girl is 5'1 3/4". Girls' normal height can range from 4'11 1/4" at the 10th percentile to 5' 5 3/4" at the 90th percentile.
under weight for his age (just under the 10th percentile weight for age) and his height is normal for his age. You can make him milkshakes with Soy milk (has no milk products in it) and frozen fruit which has extra calories and protein. Soy products are a good substitute. Thank you for your question.
From your measurements, his weight is on the 25th percentile and his height is on the 5th percentile which indicates he has normal height and on the low end for height for his age. Based on his weight / age, he should be consuming approximately 1500-1800 calories per day as recommended the following; Fruits (limit fruit juices) = 1.5 cups; Vegetables 2.
As long as he has been growing at a steady rate, even if it has been a slow gain, he is growing. Most low birth weight/premature children have grown to normal sized children and then adults. Genetics play a part, too. If the males in the family have small stature, then he may too. As a guideline for a 13 month old child should eat the following: Dairy 3-4 feedings a day – Milk (6-8oz), cheese (½ oz), yogurt (½ cup).
The fact that she's still growing in height is a good sign - she's getting enough nutrients that her body is still giving the "go ahead" for height growth. When children aren't getting enough nutrients/processing enough nutrition, they stop their height growth to maintain organ function.
Weight loss IS a concern considering she's getting so many calories.
Best wishes.
My 6-yr daughter has been under the car of a pediatric endocrinologist for 18 months due to delayed growth. She dropped to the 0.8% in both height and weight. The dr has tested all her hormone levels with just a standard blood test, as well as testing her for Turner syndrome and celiac disease, but everything came back normal. She is now on an appetite stimulant, which has certainly caused her to eat more, but I still haven't seen much growth.
She is in the upper levels for her weight and height for her age so that means she is growing despite her eating habits. Children around 2 years old may become picky eaters. They get very busy with the world around them to sit down and eat. Mealtimes can be a battlefield when children do not have an interest to eating or eat very little. It becomes the battle of the wits between the child and the parents. Remember meals need to be joyous for parents and the child.
Your height is pretty normal. Not everyone gets to be 6 foot 2". It sounds like it is genetic. I wouldn't worry about it. Are most other people taller there? A lot of men and women in the U.S. and in California where I live are a wide variety of heights. a lot of men are much shorter. Especially, Hispanic races. I think you just are down on yourself. Be proud of who you are. It is who you are inside that is important.
From the weight and height you stated his weight is on the 5th percentile and his height just below the 5th percentile for his age. Was he born earlier then his due date, if so then he is normal for his age? Around 2 years old some children become picky eaters so it becomes hard for the parents when you want to feed them correctly. They are more interested in the world around them and not in eating.
I have a 22 month old daughter who is very small for her age. She weighs only 20 pounds and is only 30 inches long. I was receiving regular prenatal ultrasounds and she was even small prenatally. She was born full term at 5lb 1oz and about 18 inches. As you can see, she hasn't had great growth since birth so I don't think it was a placental issue. Her father and I are normal height: he's 5'10 and I'm 5'4 and our other children are average or above average height.
m in Australia and I have the Safe and Sound brand and they go by height rather then age or weight. The seats have a height indicator tab on the inside of the chair. My baby was in the steelcraft (britax) capsule until he reached the height limit, then moved into the convertible rear facing car seat at about 5 or 6mths when he reached the height limit, and we just got it turned forward facing this week because he was a bit over the height limit at 17mths.
was also told I won't have another ultrasound ...
Has your fundal height been off at all? And it also depends on the U/S tech, some don't do the most accurate measurements, either, which can throw it off, and if your doctor isn't concerned I wouldn't be either. Babies gain about 1/2lb or more a week, so if your little one gains that and is 4lbs, he/she will be about 6lbs at birth, which is a very normal average weight, so don't stress!
