[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine was 29 lbs at one year, then 30 lbs a year later (she thinned out a lot when she started walking), but since then she's been consistently in the 80th percentile and above. She was at risk for overweight, but she's been slowly slimming down since then, and the BMI has gone down. We try to limit her sweets and juices, but I also try to encourage her to be really active. Dad's family tends to be heavy for their height (but not fat) and I'm athletic but not skinny for mine. (5'8", 150.) so she was never going to be thin.[/quote] Our son was 28 pounds at 1 year, 30 pounds at 2 years and 31 pounds at 2.5. He is now 38 inches too. I have no idea what his BMI is but I know he went from a HUGE baby to a typical preschooler. We didn't do anything. Just keep offering DC healthy food and lots of activities. Don't make sweets evil but definitely not an every day thing. Moderation. Sounds like you are on a fine path. [/quote]
