All Shapes and Sizes

I see lots of kids in my practice and a number of times the parents have mentioned that they are worried that there children are not putting on enough weight, and have been recommended to substitute with 10% creamer for milk to help put on some pounds. Our sweet Bell is tiny. I think it is important to look into genetics, ensure milestones are being reached and that the child is following there own pattern for growth and development. This is not to say that some children do not have a hormonal problem causing their shorter stature, and of course you want to do a proper investigation. But most of the times it is our society now comparing our children.....and then they have to succumb to more of this as adults.....
Here is our little friend who was over the other day and we could not help to notice how all people come in different shapes and sizes, these 2 cuties are just 9 months apart! and both perfectly healthy!
