[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth?  Yes, I would be worried.  Most kids I know (my kid is 10) who were chubby babies and toddlers never stopped being chubby and are now just fat. [/quote]

This is stupid.  You have no experience with babies like this.

I have had two babies with these percentiles at 13 months.  two.  boys.  I have big babies.

One is now six, he is 99% in height and 50% in weight.  He is a string bean and the tallest kid in his K class.

The other is 2.5 and 99% in height and 70% in weight.  He is tapering down and on his way to becoming a string bean but he is still a FULL HEAD TALLER than any other kid in his 2's class at preschool.  What can I say, my kids are tall.  So no, I wouldn't worry at all.

Worry if he never tapers down at all by age 3.

And ignore your MIL.  Even now, every time we visit she can't stop talking about how MUCH MY KIDS EAT.  WTF, they are very active.  She is used to my SIL's picky children who eat like birds and only chicken nuggets and plain pasta.  My kids eat everything and lots of it.  I think that is good, I just make sure they fill up on a lot of fruit and veggies.
