[quote=Anonymous]Had to take DD in for a sick visit today.  She has always been very tall and heavy (off the charts in both since her 4 month appointment).  She stepped on the scale today and it was 37.5 lbs  :shock: She is 22 months.

At her 18 month appointment she was 35 inches tall, so I'd guess she's probably 37 inches tall by now.  Her dad is extremely tall, I am completely average size (5'4'', 135 lbs).  She eats normally, stops eating when she is full, but does ask for a lot of snacks on the weekends. I usually try to divert her attention but I do give her snacks when she asks repeatedly (skim string cheese, peanut butter with banana or almond butter, greek yogurt). During the week she eats what her classmates eat at daycare and then dinner with us at home.  She doesn't have any juice or sweets and she has 12 ounces of 2% milk a day.

I don't want to set her up for a lifetime of food issues, but I am not sure what to do.  Today was a sick visit, so didn't get into this with the ped but will bring it up at her 2 year well visit in January.  Anyone have a really huge toddler and have advice? [/quote]
