[quote=Anonymous]My 13 month old is 99 percent for weight, as well as for height. His head size is about the 90th percentile. He was 23 inches at birth and weighed almost 10 pounds. He's always been in the 93-99th percentiles, so his growth charts are steady. My MIL keeps asking me if I think he's overweight, though, and it is starting to make me paranoid. Is he? He is a big guy -- definitely one of those chubby babies. He's been walking for months now with no signs of "thinning out" as people keep telling me he will do. His pediatrician did not seem to be concerned, but asked us about his diet, and told us to start him on 2% milk instead of whole. We feed him a very healthy diet, but sometimes I am shocked at how much food he can eat. If you had one of these big babies/toddlers who is now older, how did they turn out?[/quote]
