Is there a relationship between height and weight gain?
Hello doctor,
My baby girl is 11 months old. At the time of birth, her weight is 4.96 lbs. After six months she weighs13.23 lbs. For four months, she is maintaining the same weight i.e. 14.33 lbs. Except for this no other adverse symptoms are observed. Baby is very active, eating all foods (taking less milk from her mother). I consulted two to three pediatricians, they said, the baby is active and no issue with the weight. Is it correct? Height growth is normal. Can I have any suggestion about my baby's growth?
