[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing. A child who is 95%ile for height isn't supposed to be 95%ile for weight. That's not the way it works. If you think it is, discuss it with your Ped and they will explain. 95% for weight is almost always overweight. 95%ile for height is just tall. My three kids in the 90+%ile for height all have different body types, different skeletons, builds, etc. None of them have ever been over 75%ILE for weight after a year and you would never think they were too thin. [/quote] Well, my ped would (and has) disagree. As did the one before. Being 95% for height AND weight does not necessarily equate to being overweight. It could. But it doesn't have to. [/quote]
