Of course it’s this.

But the answer, my 10 year old DD weighs 60 pounds and is 57 inches tall.

No “of course” it isn’t that, as I already clarified above. I am concerned if your numbers are accurate though? If they are, is she healthy? That BMI at that height is so low that the calculators suggest you double check the numbers. I hope she eats well and is healthy. It’s difficult to have a kid who isn’t gaining weight.

My 10 year old is 4'11 and 110 pounds. So he's on the opposite end!

I was estimating. So I just weighed her and she’s 64 pounds. And 56.5 inches tall. But regardless she is thin and always has been. Pediatrician is not and never has been concerned. She looks healthy.

My DD was 10 in June. She is 104lbs and 56 inches. She is solid, but does swim so a lot of it is muscle.

Mine is also a swimmer, with muscle and the same height but weighs a fraction of your daughters weight (3/5 in fact). Strange, lots of different shapes.

My 10 YO DD is 5'1" and is 105 pounds. Looking at her she is generally taller if not much taller than all her friends and classmates and seems to have an average body size.

My kid dipped down to around the 2-3% for BMI when she was 9. I pushed whole milk yogurt, butter, avocado, nuts, etc for a little while and it wasn’t long before she “caught up.”

Honestly at these heights one pound can drop them below the BMI threshold so I wouldn’t worry much.

she's 4'5" and weighs 61 lbs.

she's pretty much been at the lower percentiles for height and little less than average for weight. however she did just have a growth spurt.

I wasn’t worried - just responding to the hand-wringing PP. I’m thin. It’s genetic.
