Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Well, this is JMO FWIW. My 3 1/2 year old daughter is and always has been " off the charts " for her height and she has never been vaccinated either, however my dh and I are also considered tall. I am 5'9 " and dh is 6'6 " and I'm pretty sure it has more to do with that than the actual vaccinations. My 7 1/2 month old daughter is pretty average for height and she's never been vaccinated either. My older daughter is always having her age guessed at being closer to a 5 or 6 year old (she is taller than my 5 1/2 year old niece and my friend's 5 year old daughter, not to mention ALL of her friends). My younger dd's age is guessed usually around 7 months which she is. So, I think it has more to do with genetics and the individual child, but someone tell me if I'm wrong. They never thought dh would be 6'6 " - his mom is 5'10 " and his dad is about 6'1 " . He was also fully vaxed as a child. Again, I'm 5'9 " and have never been vaxed and I grew up a little taller than my friends, but nothing out of the ordinary. unvaxed mommy to Jaeden and Kendra (also both unvaxed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I don't know if there is much of a correlation. My four year old was fully vaccinated up until he was " due " for the MMR, that is when I wised up, and he is taller than some six year olds and every other four and five year old that he has been around.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 HI , Based on all the other answers you've had, and on my own daughter, I reckon you're into a genetic thing here rather than anything to do with vaxes. I'm 5'9 " , my dh is 6'1 " , and our dd is off the top of the charts (or was, when she used to be measured!). She is 7 in September, and not far off being the tallest child in her entire primary school! She's definitely taller than all the children in the first three years by around 10-12 inches, and she wears clothes for a 10yo size. I don't know if your height at 2 is an indicator of how tall you will be as an adult. I have heard that your shoe size is half its adult size at age 2, and I think that's probably reasonable. I can't recall how tall dd was at that age, but she's 4'4 " now and takes a size 3 shoes (probably not relevant in the US). I have had visions of our doctor suggesting hormonal treatment to stunt her growth a bit...LOL!!! Over my dead body!!!
