Is it normal for my 9 month old infant to stay the same height for 2-3 months in a row?

Question

She was 27 in. on month 5 and than on month 6 and 7 she was only 27.2? is this abnormal and should I be worried? when she was born she was 9 lb 4 oz and 21 1/2 inches in length.

Answer 1

My son nearly stopped growing from 6- 8 months, but he had two big growth spurts between 9 and 12 months. I would think that the measurement is not quite right, is she still growing out of her clothes, just much more slowly? That is a pretty accurate way to tell is she is growing, outgrowing clothes will show you so much.  

Answer 2

it isn't unsual for their growth to slow around 6 months or so however I would bet it was more than likely a measuring error,   When they measure them they stretch them out and measure very quickly.  It is almost always inaccurate.  I measure my son at home every so often and I take the time to get an accurate height.

Answer 3

my son was the same way - if he grew at all during that time it was like half an inch or something... he stayed in the 9th percentile for height and i was concerned but the dr. said not to worry about it b/c that height was the hardest thing to check accurately... i'm sure your daughter is fine!!  

Answer 4

ask your dr but we all grow diff. by baby is small but strong and healthy .. genetic play a role as well . When I take my girl in the say she is small and if she evey gets over 100 pound we will be surpised lol ( i am small and short)
