their are many causes of tiny hands and feet. Get an Infantogram done for your child to find out the structural abnormality of all the bones. Many syndromes like Achondroplasia present with small limbs.
Kindly upload the picture of the hands as well as the trunk and facies of the child so as to get a better view of her condition.
