Is the baby's growth retardation zinc deficiency?

The child is almost 11 months old, but I found that the baby grows very slowly, and the teeth are not growing, is the baby lacking zinc?

    Long-term zinc deficiency in your baby can cause growth and developmental delay. Zinc is one of the trace elements necessary for human metabolism and growth. The lack of zinc will affect cell metabolism and hinder the function of the growth hormone axis. Your baby's growth and development will be affected to a certain extent. Specific performance may be: height is 3-6 cm lower than children of the same age, and weight is 2-3 kg lighter.
