DD had a bit of an accident and was weighed and measured at hospital (as all small children are). Her bmi by age puts her slightly overweight (87th centile, 85th or higher is overweight).
The things is, she weighs a lot (more than other toddlers who look the same size) but I don't think she's that big. She has a typical toddler build. She's nearly 3 and still easily fits width wise into most 18-24 month clothes (though they are too short). Length wise 3-4 clothes are fine but fall down as they're too baggy round the waist.
You can see her ribs (front and back) when standing, and backbone when she bends slightly.
So am I just in denial, should I go by the scales? Or does her clothes size mean she isn't really overweight, she is just heavy for her size?
