[quote=Anonymous]My DS has always tracked around the 82-87 percentile and tends to grow 2.5-3 inches a year, which seems standard. from 11 to 12, he only grew 2 inches and dropped a bit in percentiles, and now at 4 months past 12 he has not really grown at all since his birthday. The pediatrician was unconcerned and said sometimes growth will slow a bit before puberty. He definitely has no signs of puberty yet. Have you had this experience with a kid this age? He eats a lot but also does a sport that burns tons of calories so sometimes I'm worried I'm somehow not getting enough calories in him even though he seems to be eating all the time and has a good appetite.
