[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO (admittedly a 100% non-medical opinion) I don't think 15th to 1st percentile is that alarming. My 4 year old has ranged between the 55th and 75 percentile for height over the years. So a 15th percentile to 1% percentile drop maybe isn't that big of a deal. Chances are that in 6 months the kid could be back up towards the 15th percentile (assuming that's where the child has trended over the last few years).[/quote] Usually the difference between percentages in real terms is bigger at the tails of the bell, so I’d be concerned in that sense. But 6 months is too short a period to freak out about, so I’d raise it with the pediatrician to see if they’re concerned... but, if not, I’d wait until 5 to recheck/worry if needed.[/quote]
