| Re: My 5 year old is shrinking!!!
I measure her very regularly because in her second year of life she only grew one inch. She dropped from the 60th percentile to the 12th. The doctor seems to think it's a normal drop for a breast-fed baby, and that since she is retaining the 12th to 15th percentile, that she is fine. But I am beginning to think more and more that she has growth hormone deficiency. I have an apt. for her, but not til next Tuesday. I'm very stressed, as every time I measure her, I hope for a big growth spurt.
