How to use "Stunted" in context?
Stunted development or microcephaly is a condition where a baby's head and brain are smaller than normal. It is a common disorder in developing countries, where people do not have access to good health care. Children with stunted development may have problems with thinking, language, and learning. They may also have problems with their muscles and bones.
Stunted development can be caused by a number of factors. Some babies are born with a smaller head because of problems during pregnancy. Other babies may have a smaller brain because of a birth defect.
