The younger the child, the more confident I am to catch up with the height, if the child is short, you want the child to grow taller in the future, I still hope that you can pay attention to it as soon as possible, and catch up with the child's height as soon as possible, it is really much easier.
When Jiang's mother from Wuhu, Anhui Province, came to me to consult about the height of her child, her daughter was 4 years old, 95 cm tall, weighed about 24 kilograms, and her height level was in the 3rd percentile, which was already the level of short stature.
Dad's height is 160, mom's is 152, the child's genetics are about 150, and genetics are not dominant.
Children like this have more opportunities to grow taller, because parents feel that their children may not grow taller, so they pay attention to it very early, and plan for their children's height as early as possible, which can give full play to the growth potential of the day after tomorrow.
The local doctor recommended growth hormone because it was in line with the scope of application of growth hormone, but in my opinion, short stature does not necessarily require injections, or even interventions.
For children with short stature, the key is to look at the growth rate, if the growth rate is good, it can also be done without injection or intervention, and the growth rate is an important indicator for deciding whether to treat or not.
Because Jiang's mother did not pay attention to monitoring how much the child can grow in a year and how much it can grow in 3 months, and now she is more entangled in growth hormone, my advice to Jiang's mother is to give the child a 3-month observation period to see the growth rate of 3 months, if it can grow more than 1.5 cm in 3 months, you can not inject first, it can't grow, and it should be used in time.
I learned that the child's appetite is relatively poor, eating very little, adults feed more, 100 ml of milk in the morning can not be drunk, poop once every 2-3 days, and the defecation cycle is relatively long.
When the child's appetite and defecation problems are solved, and the nutrient absorption keeps up, the parents find that the child's growth rate has come up, from February 27th to April 28th, 2 months to grow 2.8 cm taller, seeing such a growth rate, Jiang's mother said: I can finally sleep peacefully.
As long as there is a good speed after intervention, the problem is not big, and most of the children, the factors that affect the growth of height are relatively simple, and the method is often relatively simple, the influencing factors are solved, and the growth rate has visible changes with the naked eye.
