[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a troll. Her ped was concerned anout her weight gain (which surprised us) and wanted her back for 3-mos follow up but DW refused/ignored the appointment.[/quote]

OP, you probably should have included this in your original post!. Complaining about your kid's waistline and having a ped express concern are 2 very different angles on a situation. Sorry. I bashed you a bit earlier, but ... ok, now I get it.

Model healthy eating, get the whole family moving together in fun ways (hike each weekend, play soccer together, whatever is fun and sweaty and in motion for an extended period), involve her in cooking (even small things like cooking / preparing things like salad dressing oil-free can have a 200 calorie impact each day), etc.

Also - does she have stomach issues? Gas, bloating, constipation, etc.? Is she tired often or itchy? If so, I'd hop over to an ND for a food intolerance/sensitivity workup. Their tests and questions will be much more thorough than those an MD offers.
