[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out children’s hospital. My sister’s son has been going through numerous tests on exact same issues.

Few things to consider:

she had kid go on strict gf/non dairy/low sugar diet bc being small with slow bone growth got him bullied and he acted out. Eliminating red dye and other non-helpful sugar stuff (he still eats this stuff but did elimination diet to see what triggered things for him) seemed to help him.

Also vitamin and mineral absorption may be an issue.

In addition, multiple Covid infections may also mess up inflammation and body’s response in weird ways. If that might be case check out Mayo Clinic. They have tremendous research, studies and resources. Also check out the health blog on this site. It’s good.

For my sister, it’s a lot of tests and unknowns and going to children’s hospital was excellent in having a specific children’s endocrinologist to guide her through this journey. You need a specialist for children. She’s done all day blood draws for hormone level measurements etc.  John’s Hopkins has excellent children specialist but growth hormones need to be used before puberty. Might be too late. But may help. Talk to a specialist.

Good luck and wishing you best. It’s especially hard for boys as there’s a societal expectation on height that puts them feeling self conscious.

And you’re a great mom just in case no one has told you that. It’s important to know that you are doing good things by getting this checked out and taking time to figure this out. You got this, mama!!!![/quote]

He’s in the 3rd percentile!   That’s within normal limits so why are you mentioning medical issues like vitamins not being absorbed.   He’s not done growing, he’ll be fine.  [/quote]
