Hello sir, my son is 4 year and his height and weight are 94 cm and 15 kgs resp. I want to know is that normal or is he under weight per his age?

Question

Hello, he is just below the ideal weight, he could increase in height. But a few kg increase with the increase in height wouldn't do any harm. Also there is no need to worry about the height, the rate of growth of each child is different. Do give him foods rich in calcium, like milk, expose his skin to direct sun light for 30 minutes, everyday, between 11: 00 am-3: 00 pm to get the vitamin d. This would help build the strength of the bones and help grow. Make sure the diet has enough protein which is essential for growth.
