Specializes in Pediatrics

Height: Given the measurements you provided, your son is about the 5% for height. As a single measurement it is not very informative. It is important to know what your child's previous measurements were. Is he following the same growth curve or is he starting to fall off? These are questions that your pediatrician will be able to discuss with you on your next visit.
