A child's growth provides important information about overall health, nutrition and development. Concerns may arise when a child is not gaining adequate weight, appears shorter than expected, has feeding difficulties or shows changes in their usual growth pattern. Dr. Nihaz Naha K evaluates growth concerns in babies and children through assessment of height, weight, nutritional intake, developmental progress and relevant medical history. Regular growth monitoring can help identify nutritional problems, chronic illnesses or other factors affecting development. Parents receive personalised guidance regarding nutrition, feeding and follow-up based on their child's individual growth pattern and healthcare requirements.
