DS2 is 18 months. He was 50th centile at birth, and gradually dropped to 25th at six months. Now, at 18 months, he’s 2nd for weight and 0.4th for length. He’s growing, but it’s very slow. Developmentally, he’s a bit late walking (he’s just about got there in the last week) and also late with teeth (only has 7). But speech is ok (understanding very good and he has a few words) and his fine motor skills are fantastic.
I’ve been concerned about growth for a while, but GP (who we’ve seen lots for asthma) wasn’t worried. But have just seen the consultant in relation to the asthma and she’s clearly concerned about his size and is reviewing in three months. I’m panicking a bit about causes. The consultant has done bloods for coeliac disease, which I honestly don’t think is the issue because his digestion seems fine, though we did have lots of trouble with wind from 6-12 months.
Anyone have any similar experience?
