[quote=Anonymous]OP, not sure if you are still reading this thread, but try to reach out to your pediatrician/send an email discussing your concerns ahead of time. If they are also concerned that she is outside of a normal weight gain, ask them to frame whatever tests they need to do as part of her annual exam. Explain that you want to rule out some possibilities since it happened quickly before focusing on eating/nutrition. I think it's great that you are not making a big deal about it, and just buying clothes that fit. Girls are painfully aware of their size and focusing on her feeling good at whatever size is a great choice to make right now. Look into the work of Ellyn Sattler and the division of responsibility in feeding. It might help you frame some of what you're already doing, and feel less attached to the outcome.[/quote]
