[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you get these nasty responses because people are just simply jealous that you have a tall and thin child. They are themselves fat or have weight issues and cannot stand the fact that someone has good genetics or that you have self control and do not feed your child junk food. I am not American and can tell you that your daughter is not considered underweight in my country. Good luck and be prepared for a lot of jealous people along the way who would tell you to “ fatten your child up”. [/quote]

I'm 5'9" and 120 lbs on a heavy day. My kids are 99th for height and 50th for weight. I was one of the responders you're talking about. OP sounds like she has some weird feelings towards food and weight and she's projecting that on her kid.

And let me guess, you're the French poster? Enough said. [/quote]

I'm 5'6, 115 and most certainly not jealous of a random internet poster asking for advice. My kids are banana babies (especially one of them, who was a stick as an infant and toddler). I'm the "let them eat ice cream" poster.

OP, you are concerned, otherwise why would you post. You may have to let up on sugar/salt limits a bit. I hear you, I try to limit those too, but you gotta look at each individual kid and made decisions for them, not for the average pre-diabetic overweight child. [/quote]
