[quote=Anonymous]My 22 month old has also always been really big (though not quite that big) and disproportionate (much higher on the weight percentile than height). I also worry to myself about her health/weight long term since some of DH's family are pretty "big boned" people. But she's not even two and her brain growth is MUCH more important than anything else at this age. So I feed her healthy, whole foods, but don't restrict fat or calories yet. I expect we'll have a conversation at her 2 year appointment, but her pediatrician has noted, but not expressed any concern over her weight so far. The only advice the pediatrician gave me was not to give juice, which we don't anyways. Offer fruit and veggies first, avoid "snacky" foods and sweets, buy cheap clothing, and stay away from leggings. Seriously, leggings are a disaster on my kid's big booty and thighs. [/quote]
