[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Also, our ped said that 99th percentile in height (which our daughter has been since 3 months, her dad is 6'7" and I am 5'9"), shouldn't necessarily match up with 99th percentile in weight after age 2 or so. Max height can't be increased with overeating, but after the infant years, [b]being at the top of the weight percentiles probably means you're overweight. [/b] So he said that it's typical to be 99th in height and 75th in weight.[/quote] Not necessarily. My pediatrican has emphasized to us that frame size and muscle mass are very important factors. I posted earlier about my DD who is high %ile in both height and weight -- you wouldn't look at her and think she looks overweight. She looks, and is, very muscular. As a baby/toddler, friends and caretakers who picked her up were always surprised because she was much heavier than they expected just to look at. Weight is a complicated issue.[/quote]
