[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s a lot of food and he’s just at the line for weight.    I’d try to figure out why he eats so much.  [/quote]

Since he's tall it's not really possible to tell.  99th percentile itself encompasses a large variation in big and tall kids.[/quote]

Agreed.  Assuming he is 6.5, and 52 inches tall (which is 99th percentile, 2.5 std) that puts his BMI at 55th percentile, also known as an IDEAL WEIGHT.

Some of these posters have clearly NEVER had tall kids  :roll: [/quote]

Op here - he isn’t 6 yet. He is 5.

He is 50 inches and 60 pounds. And a size 2 big kid shoes and size 7/8 pants. [/quote]

I don’t remember his size at that age, but my DS has always been 99th percentile for weight.  He’s also always been 99th percentile for height.  I have never limited his eating, and he is a healthy athletic high school kid now.

If you can’t tell by looking at your son that he’s eating too much, HE’S FINE.  He’s at a healthy weight for his height.[/quote]
