My neighbor's baby didn't make it onto the growth charts until he was 8 years old. He gained steadily, met all the developmental milestones and was breastfed although not exclusively. His grandmother, a former pediatric nurse, said that he needed water to help his "internal combustion". Today, he is still small. My daughter, the same age is 5'3"; he is maybe 5'0" His parents are 5'4" and 5'7".
