Question
My son is already seven months old, but his height is only 50 centimeters, which is shorter than children of the same age. What could be the reason for this situation?
Answer
Generally, the average height for a seven-month-old baby boy is between 88.5 to 93.2 centimeters. As long as a child’s height is not significantly outside the normal range, there is usually no cause for concern. Every child’s development is different; some may mature earlier, while others may take a bit longer. It’s important to ensure that your child receives a balanced diet, adequate calcium supplementation, sufficient sleep, and appropriate exercise.
