This! Healthy development requires calories.  Do you have a weight problem/struggle?  Don't overthink this.  Feed your toddler what she is willing to eat (within reason), and you can shape healthy habits as she grows older, once she is a more appropriate weight.[/quote]

OP here. Which aspect of what I described suggests to you I am "overthinking" it? Or somehow not feeding my child? Honestly asking.[/quote]

People are a mess, OP. Ignore them.

My son was like this. He’s now 9 and now 95% height 10% weight. He’s super skinny. Just how he’s made. [/quote]

Thanks. I'm genuinely curious how people come to the conclusion that a child that is in the 94th percentile for height gis underfed. Like, send me some resources about this is if they exist (that was my original ask).[/quote]

Np. Good fats are necessary for brain development. Your kid might be tall, but we can't tell if she's getting enough if everything she needs in her diet. Weight /BMI s a proxy that (and a proxy for bad eating on the other side of the spectrum. It's like a flag saying there might be a problem. That's why you're triggering these responses.

If you're sure that your kid is getting enough nutrition-wise, then you have no worries.[/quote]

I didn't ask you to assess the health of my child. Who on earth would do that on an anonymous forum? That's absurd. I asked for resources, which you obviously don't have.[/quote]
