[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For starters, let go of what you overheard. If they said it directly to you, that would be different, but you were eavesdropping and one of the consequences of that is that you will likely hear things you don't like.

As for your son, what did the doctor say, specifically, about his weight? If your doctor is not concerned, then I would not be concerned, but you could mention it to the doctor and see what he says. You mentioned that portion sizes were an issue for your other child. What does a typical meal look like for your family?[/quote]

Yes but I could really help but overhear, especially when they are talking about my DS. And the doctor reckoned he was storing fat for a growth spurt but told me to keep a close eye on it. Finally, a typical meal for him would be fish fingers, pasta with dolmio sauce and broccoli - for pudding he may have a bar of chocolate or yogurt but nothing substantial. The 10 y/o is the same.[/quote]

That's one meal, or examples of a couple of meals?[/quote]

So us the belly a recent thing? If so, it could be that he will stretch out with his next growth spurt. Does he seem hungrier than usual lately too?
I would definitely consult with his doctor to put your mind at ease.[/quote]
