[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 5'7" and about 108lbs. Is that normal?[/quote] There is a wide range of normal but also of not normal. What you need to do is look at your daughter's historical height weight and BMI percentiles by age. Those records are things your pediatrician can give you. If your daughter's BMI has always been around 20th Percentile for age, and she is currenlt also 20th percentiles for age, then OK. But if she has historically been 60th percentile for age, and suddenly started dropping in percentiles to 20th %iles, that is troubling, especially if you notice lack of appetite or excessive exercise.
