Found that my baby is not that tall mainly is because our genes. Her tall percentile remain 10 but this time drop to 5. Any reason? Is it not enough nutrient? My breast milk not enough nutrient for her stage now? She is 9 month old now. She only drink 100ml EBM every 3 hours and 3 times solids in between during daytime. But If I direct latch her when I back from work, she will drink more.. every 2-2.30hour till morning. Any advise? She is only 7.4kg and 65cm now. I'm more concern about her tall percentile dropped. Please help. thx.

Comparing against growth charts is just to give an indication of how your baby is developing physically by comparing to averages of children in the same age group. Think you need not be too worry about the figures, the more important point is whether your baby is eating and developing well. If she is gaining weight and achieving the various developmental milestones, that is an indication that she is growing well and receiving enough nutrients. I'm no expert but I think height is something that is beyond our control.
