[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a proof that our society is obsessed with eating a ton of food. By all means OP's dd is not malnourished, no kids is in 15 percentile(and I know a little something about FTT kids) and yet the expectation that kids that are 12 should eat portions that obese people in wheelchairs should eat prevail even in this skinny obsessed forum. We are meant to live of 1/10 of food we eat, in general.[/quote]

So, on the contrary, I think posts like yours show evidence that there are many middle aged women who are secretly starving themselves and hiding behind stupid excuses about how society wants everyone to be morbidly obese.  You are so defensive about a girl you don’t know—this girl might possibly have a food aversion or disorder—you have no clue, but, you are quick to jump in with an over the top defense of not eating.  Just stop, it’s gross.

And of course most kids in the 15th percentile are fine, but, the child was 90th percentile and her siblings are 90th percentile and her mother is concerned.  [/quote]
I am the one to jump? You are clueless. I am a mother to two FTT kids, who ate literary nothing compared to OP's child at the same age and from birth for DD. Who were treated by professionals and in hospitals. DD since birth. And DS was below 1%, not 15, same story, dropped around 3. This is normal pattern for many kids, I was told by professionals. My kids got the help and grew, but they certainly survived on almost nothing. Nobody would bat an eye at 15%. Over 9 years?! Some babies are chubby and then they are not. If you truly read OP's post, or if you are OP, you are comparing her to your other kids who eat a lot more. Compare her to other kids, and she might look like she eats a lot. I am the parent that would feed her kid a chocolate and be happy if they ate it. I am exactly the opposite from what you surmised when it comes to feeding kids. You know nothing about me, and I know a lot about FTT kids and just what that looks like. And this is not it.[/quote]
