[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old DD is under 40 pounds; her 4 year old brother is over 40 pounds. My DD recently had the stomach flu, and the next day, her favorite shorts were too big on her. But she is just fine. I've heard of other people with kids my DD's age giving them protein shakes, and taking other measures to make their kids eat more, but my DD's opinion is that my DD is petite and more food will make her fat, not bigger. So if your DS is in good shape, eats nutricious meals, and is growing at a decent pace -- his pace, but consistently, then why worry? There has to be someone at the bottom and at the top of the growth chart. And, yes, while not asked, I still keep my DD in a 5-point harness, even though she is 7. [/quote]
