| Has anyone tried particular vitamins etc to help boost height of their toddler? Has anyone tried Nubest Tall for a 2/3 year old toddler? |

| Unless your kid is deficient in something, vitamins aren't going to affect their height. |

If your child is underdeveloped then schedule an appointment with a pediatrician and ask for recommendations.
My friend did this at age 12 and the treatment and/or drugs prescribed and taken caused him to grow 6 inches in less than one year. |

| Buy a bottle and take it to your pediatrician. It sounds like a good multivitamin but will not help your toddler grow unless he’s deficient in needed nutrients. |

| If your child is already well nourished no supplements will boost growth. |

| No magic pill and a bottle to make a child grow taller. Feed him healthy, nutritious food and speak with your pediatrician if you have concerns. I know three or four people whose kids have gone on growth hormones when they were preteens and that did help make a difference. But you’ve a long way to go before that may be an option if needed. |

| Genetics. How tall are the parents? My kids have never eaten well at all but are super tall because we are. |

OP here:
Mom: 5 ft 6 inches Dad: 5 ft 8 inches Mom’s side is tall (men are over 6 ft, women are around 5-6) Dad’s side is short (men are around 5-9 and women are 5-3) |

You cannot “boost height.”
The best you can do is make sure they are getting enough calcium and vitamin D, but it won’t boost their height, just help them grow normally. 3 glasses of milk should do it. I give mine a vit D/K2 gummy as well |

Unless the child is malnourished adult height will be primarily determined by genetics. The mid-parental height is used for estimation. https://www.myendoconsult.com/learn/mid-parental-height-formula/
Talk to your pediatrician if you're concerned and they can review the growth curves with you. |

Aside for making sure they are eating enough calories, there is nothing you can do. "Nubest Tall" and any other supplement that claims it helps is selling snake oil. And unless your child's doctor has said they have a specific, significant deficiency, vitamins are just candy. https://www.parentdata.org/p/vitamins-are-mostly-pointless?r=689sv&s=r&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email |

Yep, you sound like a great person from which to take marital advice.
