[quote=Anonymous]What are his eating habits like?  It'd be more concerned about low weight if he's eating normally than about height.  If he's not getting enough nutrients, that can affect height growth.  My DS is small and very thin, and he doesn't like to eat much -- just never has.  The doctor said that his height has been going up incrementally and thus is not concerned but that if his weight stops going up on the curve, he would be a bit more worried.  I only say this because he's not a great eater.  If your kid is not eating much or not eating at all healthfully, then I might chock it up to that and seek to improve his diet or try to find out if there's something more going on (celiac, allergies, etc.).

It sounds like you have a good relationship with your doctor, so just call and say what you said here -- that you know it seems like everything is fine, but you can't help but worry about it and wonder if there's some specialist you should take him to just to see if there's anything more going on.[/quote]
