[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think the percentiles were done when people were thinner and want justification for your kid being overweight? [/quote]

Of course it’s this.

But the answer, my 10 year old DD weighs 60 pounds and is 57 inches tall. [/quote]

No “of course” it isn’t that, as I already clarified above. I am concerned if your numbers are accurate though? If they are, is she healthy? That BMI at that height is so low that the calculators suggest you double check the numbers. I hope she eats well and is healthy. It’s difficult to have a kid who isn’t gaining weight.[/quote]

I was estimating. So I just weighed her and she’s 64 pounds. And 56.5 inches tall. But regardless she is thin and always has been. Pediatrician is not and never has been concerned. She looks healthy.[/quote]

My kid dipped down to around the 2-3% for BMI when she was 9. I pushed whole milk yogurt, butter, avocado, nuts, etc for a little while and it wasn’t long before she “caught up.”

Honestly at these heights one pound can drop them below the BMI threshold so I wouldn’t worry much. [/quote]
