What Should Be Done To Increase Height?
My sisters gave a birth to a male baby in 2 month before i,e in place of 9th month she gave birth in the 7th month.
You may call it a premature period of delivery. Now the baby is of 3 years. Everything is normal . he is running, trying to speak but not clear words but his height is not as it should be at 3 years.
Whether his height will take place later or what should be done to increase his height. Whether his height will come like other children and more & more question regarding his height. What should be done for height ?

The final height of a child is dependent on the parental height. Usually the premature babies are given correction for their prematurity upto two years of age for matching their growth and developmental parameters to their age appropriate peers. But at three years child usually catches up. If he is not malnourished which may lead to less height, you may check his thyroid levels.
