Growth problems are used to describe poor growth, or the growth failure in a baby. Stature and growth problems are a sign of undernutrition, which a baby may experience for a number of reasons. Height and weight gain are fastest during a baby’s first year. In general, a baby’s length may increase by 50% from birth to 12 months.
