Growth Monitoring

Growth monitoring is an essential part of pediatric care, helping to detect early signs of malnutrition, hormonal imbalance, or systemic illness. At Dr Kavita’s Child Care Clinic in North East Delhi, routine tracking of height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) is done using standardized growth charts.

Dr. Kavita Verma evaluates growth patterns in relation to age, gender, and genetic background. Children with faltering weight gain, stunted height, or obesity are further assessed through dietary history, clinical examination, and investigations if needed. Parents receive practical advice on nutrition, feeding habits, and lifestyle to support optimal growth.

Growth charts, percentile rankings, and WHO references are used to track developmental milestones. For infants and toddlers, measurements are taken at regular intervals to detect any deviations early. 

School-age children are evaluated for issues such as delayed puberty, short stature, or overweight tendencies.

The clinic in North East Delhi provides personalized care, and parents receive follow-up reminders to ensure regular monitoring. Growth-related concerns such as feeding difficulties, food aversions, and underweight issues are addressed with a multidisciplinary approach.

As a pediatrician and educator, Dr. Kavita combines clinical expertise with parental counseling, making growth monitoring a valuable part of preventive pediatric care. This service ensures children are developing at a healthy pace both physically and nutritionally.
