She is active and she eats balanced diet and plays outside for 1 to 2 hrs . she is addicted to TV and mobile. Is that causing the problem. Her current weight is 15.5 kg and height is 106cm Please help how can I increase her weight and height. Thanks

Hi there Don't worry as your daughters height is within normal limits of normal though it is on the lower side of normal. Just give her good balanced diet with sufficient amount of protein & regular activity, play , swimming etc. Share Mom & dad's height so I can give you her appox height she will attain. Also If you have her previous records of height & wt, please share it so i can see for her rate of growth. Take care
