Not gaining height and weight
My 3 year old daughter has not gained height and weight from last 10 months. She has remained constant at 10.5 g in weight and 87 cm in height. She does not eat egg or non veg. Has to force feed her daily. But she is very active and does not have significant issue in studying. She is very short on concentration. Need to know if its common to kids gain height and weight in a slow pace.
In the age of 3-5 years a child will usually pull his height and weight may remain stagnant. However, the ht is looking small for age. Please visit in clinic for complete assessment.
Also do not force your feed. Instead try to feed her nutritious food with interest and interactive way. Please consult online for same
