[quote=Anonymous]My DD fell from 60-80th in infancy to 25th at age 2, and then to 10th percentile between ages 2 and 3, and the doctor wasn't concerned.  We saw a pediatric endocrinologist.  He did not recommend testing because he said she otherwise looked healthy and was not having issues with weight gain.  So we monitored to make sure she was stable at the 10th percentile.  And she was, until age 7, when she fell to the 5th percentile, now she's under that.  They did the hand x ray and a few blood tests (celiac), but both were normal.  The hand x ray showed her bone age being lower than her biological age, but within a certain number of standard deviations, so it wasn't considered abnormal.  The doctor again seemed unconcerned, but we are going to go back to the ped endo to get checked out again.

In our case, DH is 5-9, I'm 5-7, but his mom is 5-2 and aunts are super short, like 4-11.  He also has 2 siblings and father with late puberty and growth delay, so my daughter could have any of those issues.[/quote]
