addicted Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Anyone have any idea what's wrong with this little girl? As a father this would turn me into an insomniac for life http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/02/01/doctors-don-t-know-why-my-baby-daughter-isn-t-getting-any-bigger-115875-21090438/ Meet Suraya Brown – the little girl who is baffling doctors by refusing to grow. The brown-eyed youngster is now 14-months-old and should weigh at least 20lb. Yet she is still the size of a newborn baby, tipping the scales at just over 7lb and a mere 19in.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 As a parent, I really don't know how I'd deal with this either. I hope everything is OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMK9973 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not saying this is related at all...BUT, my son grew only 1/4 of a inch between his 3rd and 4th Bday... Obviously we were really worried as he went from the 50th percentile down to the 3 percentage. But since then he has had normal growth rate and is now about the 7th percentile (age 7). Dr's say all is normal, and that he will most likely either catch up, or grow a little longer then others.... Just one year his body decided not to grow....
