[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DD wasn’t premature. She is coordinated and surprisingly strong for her small frame. She has very little body fat so doesn’t really fit the profile in that regard. But she was very late to get teeth and hasn’t lost too many. A couple teeth have been missing for 6-9 months with no sign of the permanent teeth yet. So that fits. She was tested for different hormone levels and so far, all have been okay. Her doctor wrote and said some results won’t be back for a week or so and she will follow up then.[/quote]

hmmm.  My 10-year old son had slow growth years 2-4.  The endocrinologist wouldn't test him---just monitored his growth.

He was missing his front teeth for an entire year before they grew in.  He is slow to lose teeth.  He has stabilized around 35-40% growth.  He was 75-80% at 18 months.

The thing is, his older brother who is always big for his age still hasn't lost all of his teeth even at 13.  He also loses teeth slow.

I just wanted to add that the teeth thing by itself is not a worry.

Of course, you have other issues going on--but I didn't want others to worry.[/quote]
