[quote=Anonymous][quote] I am not defending calling a child obese at that weight, but my son is 48 inches and 52 pounds, and his doctor suggested we keep an eye on his intake of sweets. The issue is not that he is obese- he isn't. The issue is that his percentile height is much less than his percentile weight. your doctor is insane. yes, your child's weight is higher than height but not by much at all. [/quote] Well, according to the medical charts at his doctor's office, he is 15th percentile height and 40th weight, so yes, that is a considerable difference. Again, nothing to obsessively worry about, but I agree that we should keep an eye on his intake of sweets and purchase of chocolate milk at school. [/quote]
