[quote=Anonymous]My kids were huge -- 9 and 10 lbs at birth. But both of us parents are tall and slim so we didn't worry about it. My kids were in the 90th+ percentiles for both height and weight until about 3 or 4 and then the weight percentiles steadily dropped. My kids are maybe 50th - 75th percentile weight now? At 10 and 14, I don't focus on it much. Mostly because they really slimmed down. We honestly try to get them to gain weight now (e.g. they still drink whole milk), although they eat healthy diets for the most part. We are trying to get them to bulk up again for the teen growth spurts (to no avail). If your kids are healthy eaters & you're not feeding them junk there's not much you can do. Also, as an aside, through my work I focus on childhood obesity and in my opinion, few believe that children should lose weight - it's more a drive to maintain weight/BMI so kids will grow up and out of weight issues.[/quote]
