[quote=Anonymous]I left my son's 3rd year annual checkup thinking he gained almost no weight over that year. Turns out the woman weighing him was incompetent. He sized out of the kiddie scale and he was bouncing around for the stand up adult scale. I remember thinking "how did I not notice"? He is 90th percentile for height and 60th for weight. (The doc is ok with this). I believe that because he fits in size 4 pants for height but they slide off his bottom. Once they are pushing the curve a measurement error can really push them off the rest of the way. The doctor told me to give him healthy fats but not load him up on sugar. The sugar is not going to build the body mass you want anyway. Incidentally, I keep hearing these 1st and 99th percentile numbers so often I wonder what is up with the scales. [/quote]
