2018-03-06 18:00:35
My 16 month old is 29 inches in height. He did not grow from 12th month to present. His height remained same. He dont like to chew fruits so i give them as milkshakes. He eats yogurt rice, ragi porridge, dal rice, milk n so on.. Please advice what could be done for a good growth. Appreciate your time and help. Thanks

The fastest growing age groups in children are in the 1 st year of life and after onset of puberty. Other than that,the growth in weight and height are slower. Just ensure 2 milk feeds using a glass and 4 solid meals a day and plenty of physical activity.
