[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had to take DD in for a sick visit today.  She has always been very tall and heavy (off the charts in both since her 4 month appointment).  She stepped on the scale today and it was 37.5 lbs  :shock: She is 22 months.

At her 18 month appointment she was 35 inches tall, so I'd guess she's probably 37 inches tall by now.  Her dad is extremely tall, I am completely average size (5'4'', 135 lbs).  She eats normally, stops eating when she is full, but does ask for a lot of snacks on the weekends. I usually try to divert her attention but I do give her snacks when she asks repeatedly (skim string cheese, peanut butter with banana or almond butter, greek yogurt). During the week she eats what her classmates eat at daycare and then dinner with us at home.  She doesn't have any juice or sweets and she has 12 ounces of 2% milk a day.

I don't want to set her up for a lifetime of food issues, but I am not sure what to do.  Today was a sick visit, so didn't get into this with the ped but will bring it up at her 2 year well visit in January.  Anyone have a really huge toddler and have advice? [/quote]

Just an FYI, a peanut butter and banana sandwitch has more sugar in it than a snickers bar. I think your kids is fine though. 36 inces and 37 pounds is porportionate and toddlers are generally chubby. [/quote]

omg this child is 9 years old now!! and I'm sure genetically the same as she was always going to be!!!! because this was so clearly about genetics as it is for most 2 year olds with a typical two year old diet. What is up with people resurrecting years old threads lately??[/quote]

Actually this child would be 8 now. if she was 22 months old at the end of November 2017, she turned 2 in approx January of 2018 which would make her age 8 in May 2024.[/quote]

Oh funny, I was going to comment that I have one like this who is now 8, but seeing this is a zombie thread, I wonder if I did actually post the OP years ago with some details changed.

To anyone else who’s concerned, my big toddler is now a big and proportionate 8 year old. Not a string bean, but on the same growth curve she was on in 2017. She’s healthy, active, and projected to be 5’10”+. I’m still a little surprised by her size TBH, but am not an anxious new mom anymore and am confident she’s exactly where she should be. [/quote]
