[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he fat?[/quote] It's a 100 pound 8 year old... what do you think?[/quote] Is this necessary or even relevant? [/quote] Take a look at the growth charts - OP did say he was tall but didn't mention he's also overweight, possibly obese as well. I'd say it's relevant to the issue.[/quote] Oh wow, I’m a PP that said to give a snack on the first page. I read too fast and read 93% for weight (and 99% for height, so proportionate like my DC), not 93 pounds. With an overweight or obese child, I would definitely not give a midnight snack. Mine has woken from hunger at times in the past, but they are short periods that are probably related to a growth spurt. This sounds more like habit and not need for calories. So I take back my suggestion and agree with others that he should be given a snack before bed, but then told he needs to wait until breakfast.[/quote]
