I told mom about possible thyroid issue and she said child hasn't been tested for thyroid (just celiac) .She asked doc at his 18 month appt last week and was advised his other blood numbers were normal so they're not checking thyroid. Pediatrician asked mom if she was worried about it, to which she said no, so doc said no worries then. If was me, I'd have thyroid checked. Parents are avg height, actually dad is tall. But maybe he simply takes after a shorter ancestor. In meantime, he's easy to lift I just have to remember he's not a baby. And he can hold his own thank goodness.
