[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, when my daughter was 5’3” and 86 pounds, she was hospitalized. You should get a consult at Children’s. Your care team should be seeing this as a medical emergency. And pro tip: many nutritionists have eating disorders. Their obsess with food draws them to the profession. Not all of course, but more than other professions. If they aren’t getting weight on your older daughter every week, then you need to find someone else. [/quote] 5'3" and 86lb is 5th percentile BMI and not considered underweight. Of course there could be other things going on or an ED but some kids do have a low bmi genetically. My daughter who is that height and 97lb was often 5-10% bmi throughout her grade school years, it would not have been a red flag for her. She eats a ton, just has a good metabolism and has always been that way. That said if they are doing weight checks, her doctor must be concerned. [/quote]
