[quote=Anonymous]It's not that the 3 year old is weighing in at 51 pounds, it's that her weight to height (BMI) is heavy. I haven't done the calculations to see if that is the case - definitely plug the numbers into one of those BMI calculators. I wouldn't freak out about it but I would discuss it with her doctor. See what the doctor thinks is a healthier weight range for your daughter. Then make dietary/activity level changes as needed. Right now this is not a huge problem. But it could become one if left unaddressed.[/quote]
