How tall will the baby be?

Children cannot be made taller by overeating certain foods or by taking certain medications. 80 percent of how tall a child will be depends on the height of the parents. The remaining 20 percent depends on various environmental factors.

Many diseases, such as certain syndromes, instability, metabolic disorders can cause people to be born short. In some cases such as lack of thyroid and growth hormone, type-1 diabetes, Turner syndrome, kidney disease, if treated with necessary hormones, the child has a chance to grow tall.

Health and proper nutrition during pregnancy of the mother plays a special role in the growth of the child. Studies have shown that achieving the desired height is possible if certain things are followed during childhood and adolescence.
