Abstract

Faltering growth in infants and toddlers is a common problem in clinical practice, and it can lead to a variety of short- and long-term health outcomes. Early life is a critical window for faltering growth identification and intervention, so a comprehensive understanding of how to identify and intervene faltering growth at early stage is of critical importance for achieving early appropriate catch-up growth and improving the lifetime health of infants and children.

Key words
