[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, my daughter is the same age, height and weight as your DD. She swims 3-6 days per week year round (club swim, so we’re talking about 2000 yards per practice) and eats healthier than most adults I know. She was born in the 99th percentile for height and weight and that’s where she remains. Her pediatrician is not concerned at all. Some kids are just built that way. My DH was like that and both his parents were like that. They are all now super tall (DH is 6’3”) and a very normal, healthy weight. At some point, they shot straight up and all that weight shifted. If someone ever told my DD she was overweight to her face…we would have words. [/quote]
They are not just built that way. Your DD is not just muscular, she is overweight.

Pp and thanks for your thoughtful commentary, but I’ll think I’ll listen to the pediatrician. Not some rando on DCUM. [/quote]
Good for you, terrible for your child.[/quote]

So enlighten me. What would you like my 9yo DD to do? Starve herself? Throw up her food after every meal? I’d love to hear your suggestions. [/quote]

DP.  Three meals and one snack.  Only.  If she feels hungry between meals, before lunch and dinner, then that's normal and not a problem to be solved.[/quote]

DP: It is so odd that you people think you can diagnose these kids and refuse to believe parents who tell you there is nothing off about what the kids are eating. Its like everyone whose life experience is different from what you believe must be lying. It is everthing that is wrong with our country these days.[/quote]

Then do nothing, if nothing can be done.  Buy larger clothes for your DC.[/quote]
