Hello, Firstly height is genetics, so don't bother yourself and the baby Secondly, weight gain can be slow is most growing baby s as they are either fussy eaters or the immune response is developing gradually. Give her high protein diet, with good doses of calcium, iron and nutrients. Unless the child is physically fit and active you need not worry. Encourage her to go swimming, cycling etc. Deworming her every 6 months.
