Question
My child is shorter and lighter than their peers. They can’t walk or talk yet, but they are in good spirits.
Answer
Hello! According to the pediatric weight calculation formula: 6.6 (age-6) x 0.5 is considered normal weight. You can appropriately reduce the feeding frequency to avoid placing too much burden on your child’s digestive function, which may lead to indigestion. Additionally, you should add more vegetables to their diet. There are many triggers for pediatric endocrine diseases, so if your child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their child to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
