After some reassurance really please!
Is it normal for a toddler not to grow for 3 months?
My son is 21 months and 88cm tall. At 18 months he was 87.5 tall so he's grown only half a cm in three months.
I've checked the red book and this puts him at roughly 91st percentile so it's not that he's falling off the charts or anything worrying.
I guess I just naively assumed that he would grow gradually but perhaps that isn't how it works?
Should I wait for a growth spurt or start gently racking him during his sleep?
TIA
