DD is 19 months old, we weighed her last week at my MIL and she weighs 2 stone. This takes her I think onto the 91st centile.
She has always (on the rare occassions I had her weighed) been around the 50th centile and was on about 45 on her 1 year HV check.
She is very tall, taller than her boy cousin who is only 23 hours younger than her. She eats a varied and healthy diet, she has a few treats (eg a bourbon biscuit on wednesday afternoons when we go to the park) but on the whole eats lots of pulses, grains, pasta, fish, veggies and fruit. She also breastfeeds quite a lot
In the last few weeks I have really noticed how much bigger (not fatter, just bigger all over) she is than other children her age, we saw a lady who was at our original birth group yesterday and Kitty looks so much bigger and older than her son that I am starting to feel a bit worried. We were talking to an old lady in the park yesterday and she asked how old K is - when I said 19 months she was really surprised and said she thought she was a lot older than that.
We have weight issues in our families and I am very conscious to try and give her the best possible start with her diet, trying to tread a path between letting her eat anything and being too restrictive.
I haven't seen the HV since January and am thinking about going to the next clinic so that I can get her properly weighed and ask them about it. Do you think I will be wasting their time ?
I know this isn't strictly an AIBU topic but as there is already a HV topic I thought I would get prompt thoughts here !
