[quote=Anonymous]This is just the thread I need, I am in the same boat with DC. Now 13 yr 3 months. 4.11 inches Born 9 lbs, 22 inches full term, he was ahead in the curve until first 3 years, ever since his growth slowed down (He refused bottles and formula as a baby) He is hypothyroid and using medication from a year, he gained an inch last year. My Pedi or my endocrinologist have never discussed the things I read in this post. They just explained that he will eventually gain height. I am 5.7 and DH is 5.9. I strongly want to do whatever I can to get him a chance to gain decent height. Kids immediately look down on shorter kids. I have seen them engage in loose talk “ you are short and weak” etc.. this is just too common. I can imagine a great amount of self esteem issues stem from these interactions. I certainly got some new information to talk to our Peds.[/quote]
