[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't flame me.  For real, y'all, I'm not worried and neither is my pediatrician.

That said, my 18 month old has always been an adorable chunkster.  Around 75-80% for height and 95-100% for weight almost since birth.  His weight and height growth charts are stable, so I don't think this is him putting on weight in preparation for a growth spurt.  He was a rolly baby, and is a healthy, active toddler now who can run, climb, and has been walking since 10 months.  He's an average eater - picky, but eats a healthy, if limited menu.  No juice or tons of sweet or salty snacks.  DH's family are big, tall people, so he definitely has the family history to be heavier.

During the last few visits, my pediatrician has been asking more questions about diet/activity level and hinting that we are going to need to start watching his weight soon.  I think she's waiting to see if he'll slim down on his own, but also expected him to already be slimming down by now.  If you had a chunky baby, when did s/he start slimming down?  If s/he didn't, when did you get "the talk" from the pediatrician?  [/quote]

What's his weight now, OP?[/quote]
