Does anyone have any experience of height charts as an indicator of final adult height? My ds has consistently been right down the bottom (0.4 centile) since birth - actually thought to be small for dates, but obviously just small as he has not moved up the chart any (his weight is fine though - he's quite a guzzler in fact!).
At this rate he'll only be about 5 foot 2 when he's grown up. I know lots of people are short (including myself), but while it seems ok for a girl it's much harder for a man. I keep having visions of him being bullied at school, girls not looking twice at him, not being taken seriously at work.....
He's only one a half so has plenty of time on his side but is he always going to be so small???
I know it's pretty trivial considering what many others have to put up with, but it concerns me. Any help or reassurance, or tips gratefully recieved.
