What is wrong with being short? Or are you just a bigot?

You can't ensure it, but you can lower the odds by procreating with a person of average or above-average height. If you're having a baby with another short person, expect another short person to come of it. Before you decide to have a baby that will likely be short when you wish they could be tall, you should make sure you're comfortable with the idea.
Good luck!

No, there is no way to ensure taller children. You cannot alter genetic makeup, and herbal remedies and medicines won't help.
Hormone injections into the child could work, but... I suggest that the child eat healthy, get good exercise, and take multi-vitamins. That's all you can do, and then just hope.

You do have options. Your options as a male are refrain from intercourse, or to positioned on a condom, or to have a vasectomy. what's in the final pastime of the youngster, if there's a newborn, is that the two mothers and dads pay to help it. There are way too many women in this united states helping a newborn all by potential of themselves with out help from the fathers. looks to me like it fairly is those women getting the fast end of the stick. ##

No not if both sides are short; genetics. I'm 5'1 and my husband is 6'3 so there's a chance my kids won't have to suffer from being short.
But no, you cannot change your DNA to make a taller baby.

That would be like saying, we both have blue eyes, how can we ensure our child gets brown?. You can't. You get what you get. It's all in the genes the child inherits.

growth hormones given during adolescence can add a few inches to a childs height.

Short of genetic selection (which isn't even perfected yet), not really.
