[quote=Anonymous]You might get better answers in the kids with special needs section. It sounds like he was previously in the 1% for both height and weight. I think any huge deviation from a child's growth curve is something their ped would want to look into. Does he have a diagnosis related to his small stature? Maybe he is just in a growth spurt, but I would want to see a doc to make sure he's not retaining fluid or experiencing some other medical problem. My child has always been <5% for weight but 15-20% for height-she is a former low birth weight preemie with no known growth issues and a good appetite. She's gained about 10lbs over the course of quarantine (which is great!) and I noticed that a tiny friend of hers also appears to have gained a good amount. [/quote]
