[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter weighs 75 pds and is 4'9". She's not overweight. It all depends on build and height.[/quote] This. However, OP, before my daughter literally grew several inches in a short space of time, I got The Weight Talk from her pediatrician. There was practically nothing we could change in her diet, but I did pull all milk, especially since she drinks soy. We saw a change rather quickly and then she grew very quickly as well. I have not reintroduced milk into her diet — she doesn’t need it and it’s full of empty calories and phytoestrogens, which are concerning for an 8 yo girl anyhow. Please also bear in mind that BMI is a problematic measure and that physicians have to have the weight talk regardless of whether it’s a true concern.[/quote]
