[quote=Anonymous]DD was born skinny and long and has kept up with her weight curve, but now that she's 2 they are looking at BMI and she is underweight. We have been giving her whole milk and we try to give high caloric foods like yogurt and cheese but I am pretty militant about not too many high salt/sugar foods which is what she loves. Do people know of good resources on: 1. For my own understanding, why BMI is important? Not doubting at all that we need to get her weight up, of course I trust the pediatrician, but it's always helpful for me to understand the why of things. 2. What are good strategies for increasing weight? Obviously high caloric foods, ped suggested smoothies which I am on board with. What about eating schedules? Are more snacks better or fewer snacks for weight gain?[/quote]
