Hi doctor,
My daughter is 4 years 5 months old. Her height is 3 feet 2 inches, and weight is 33 pounds. I want to know whether the height and weight are normal for that age. My height is 5 feet 7 inches and her mother is 5 feet tall. I am worried about her height. I want her to be at least 5 feet 4 inches. What can I do to make her tall?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for providing all the details. I would like to congratulate you that your child is growing quite well right now.
The final height depends on many factors. Parent's height determines the genetic potential of the child by which we can have an idea of child's final height range. But, at the same time, it also depends on the adequate nutrition during growing years, which helps the child grow to her maximum potential and may be more than that. I calculated your child potential height range. It is 148 to 159 cm (centimeters) that is around 5 feet to 5 feet 3 inches. So, do not worry. Just improve your child's nutrition and especially adequate proteins.
