[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who has always been around 25% for height &lt;5% weight. I guess I would want to know from your ped why the concern now if your kid is maintaining her growth curve. My child's ped has always said that she's built the way she's built and not to worry. Personally, I don't worry too much about sugar as long as my kid is eating a good variety of food. If you do want to increase her calories maybe foods like homemade ice cream or rice pudding which are rich but you can control the sugar.

For snacks vs meals, I know some people say to try to consolidate eating around meals and some say give plenty of snacks and small meals. I do the latter because my kid seems to have a really fast metabolism and just can't eat enough at meals to keep her going until the next one. [/quote]
+1, I have a 2yo who is 60% for height, &lt;5% for weight, and BMI is &lt;1% too, but she's kept on her weight growth curve and the ped said they'll always keep a close eye on her weight but as long as she's track her growth curve and seems healthy, the ped is not worried. In fact, the ped didn't even mention BMI. I just saw it on one of the school forms later.

I do use full fat dairy, avocado oil in cooking, and add nut butter to recipes to bulk them up. [/quote]
