My baby boy is 4 months old. At birth his weight was 2.55 kg. As per growth chart his height to weight ratio should be 7kg and 64.0 cm but he is 5.6 kg and 61 cm. As per one of the previous scan's, he is having rhizomelic shortening of long bones. Will my baby remain short in height? Will he experience dwarfism in future? Please help as I'm too much worried about him. Also kindly let me know the survival rate of children having rhizomelia.
