Is It Normal For Toddlers To Refuse Having Finger Foods?

Hi. My son is 14 months old. He was 82 cm and 12 kg while one year old. He was born as 3.2 kg and 48 cm. He is a happy child and has no learning difficulties except that he refuse to take finger food. Is he going to be ok ? not a giant baby? Should we check his Thyroid?

Pediatrician 's  Response

What is the height of both parents? If both of you or one of you is very tall that may explain his height. If his activities are normal, as told by you, then need not worry for thyroid.
Though a close watch is suggestible.
