You’re very welcome! It’s great to hear that she’s active during the day — that’s a really reassuring sign. And yes, focusing on a balanced diet with enough iron, magnesium, and calcium is a smart move. These nutrients support everything from energy levels to muscle and nerve function, and they can really help if there are any minor deficiencies contributing to what you’re observing.If you ever notice any new symptoms or if things change, don’t hesitate to check in with a doctor just to stay on the safe side. You’re clearly being very thoughtful and attentive — she’s lucky to have you looking out for her!

Hi Parul, Not all children grow at the same pace — some take a bit longer and that’s still within normal. It’s important to look at how your son has been growing over time, not just compare him with others his age.Growth also depends a lot on parents’ height, so genetics play a key role.He’s active and healthy, which is great! As long as he’s gaining weight well and following his growth curve, there’s usually no need to worry. But if in the next few months we notice no height gain or a slowdown, it would be a good idea to assess further — sometimes with labs or a pediatric endocrinology referral.A balanced diet, good sleep, and regular check-ups are the best support for his growth.
