[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who has been at 97/98/99% in height and weight since birth, too. But...51 pounds at 42 inches is not "just big." At 3 year old appt mine was 41.25 inches and 37 pounds. Putting us at 97/96% for height and weight, respectively, on the CDC scale. At the 4 year old appt it was 44.5 inches and 45 pounds, still 97/96%. Even then, I keep an eye on my kids weight (no intervention required-I am just mindful of it)because one day upward growth will stop naturally...outward growth has to be managed. So I know what a "big kid" looks like. Your kid is overweight. By more than a few pounds. Listen to your doctor. [/quote]
