Growth parameters: To review with her pediatrician are height, head circumference, body mass index, & velocity of growth of all parameters. If her height & weight remain proportional, with bmi, head circumference & development within average (25th-75th %ile), she may yet reach the 5th %ile or >. Her small stature may be ok if rate of growth remains normal. If she has low weight for height, an evaluation is needed.
