[quote=Anonymous]When my petite and slender kid was 10 she was 46 inches tall and weighed 44 pounds. I used the CDC child BMI calculator and found that for her to have a BMI of around 12.5 she would need to weigh 37-38 pounds. For a 48 inch tall girl that would be a weight of 42 pounds and puts a child in under the 1% for weight but average-ish for height. I can see why you are worried. If the child isn't on medications during weekends and school holidays, could you do really high calorie foods then? Could you switch medications? Your child's psychiatrist or whomever is managing meds should be able to offer an alternative. [/quote]
