[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guarantee you will give her a lifelong weight complex if you bring it up. Honestly how would you feel if she got an eating disorder? If her pediatrician isn’t worried at her annual checkups you shouldn’t be worried either. [/quote] Oh sorry I didn’t see that the pediatrician said something Honestly I would consider a different pediatrician. A pot belly sounds totally normal. If two say there is an issue, okay. But even then, be so careful about encouraging her to focus on weight in any way at all. Dieting leads to weight gain and I’m guessing that’s the last thing you want. [/quote] Better to be fat than sad, according to you. Children's weight is something that parents can affect. When a pediatrician brings it up, then listen. Don't dump the doctor and find a different one. [/quote]
