[quote=Anonymous]My son is almost 3 and he is almost 54 lbs! He doesn't eat a whole lot and I have limited snacks and things like juice even though I water it down. He is on 2 different inhalers and one is a steroid which I'm almost positive is causing his rapid weight gain because he has blown up in the last 5-6 months since starting this new one. He is in a size 6/7 BOYS because I cant find anything to fit him he was just in a 4/5t during the winter months. He has always been a naturally chunky boy and his legs are like hams but I can't even lift him hardly and the clothes that do fit him look so bad because shorts are so long and some shirts are too because he's still built like a baby not a kid and he's still in pull ups which make pants and shorts fit weird anyway im taking him to the Dr next week to find out what we can do and if there's anything else medically going on..he also now has sleep apnea along with his asthma..he was diagnosed with asthma and reflux before he was even 1 and he still takes meds for reflux because he has trouble on and off still and they said he could grow out of if he could not we just have to see..I'm just at a loss because i buy good foods i cook every night im not working and I eat healthy and exercise..were always outside or doing some activity I've come up with i just want to help him get healthy so he can be like other kids and not have a hard time with weight throughout his life I struggled in my younger years and it's hard so I'm really conscious about predisposing him to that and I honestly don't feel I have in any way .he eats no more than any other kid his age and he snacks on fruits yogurt and things of that nature [/quote]
