Regarding baby
Hello doctor, I am really worried as pediatrician has asked us to do 2d echo of our 14 month old baby girl. Her birth weight was 2.54 and at 14 months it's 7.5 and her height is 73 cm. As per doc it's weight has only increased 2 kgs after 6or 7 month so is it relevant ro do 2d echo and why it must have been advised? Pls let me know as I am worried a lot.
