Hi, my daughter was quite a long baby, but weighed 6lb 12oz. Quite normal. She then grew very quickly and has followed the 99.9th percentile most of her life. I believe she's now off the scale.
She will be 9 at the end of February and she is currently 5 foot 10 and weighs 7 stone 12. Her feet are a 5.5.
She has started puberty, and has breast buds and some pubic and underarm hair. She also has learning difficulties and poor balance/co-ordination. She finds it hard to walk long distances, due to twisted tibia's, awkward foot positioning and poor muscle tone. She has to wear special boots to help keep her ankles straight.
I am 5 foot 6 and her dad is 5 foot 10. I was tall as a child but not as tall as my daughter. I'm just wondering how tall she'll be as an adult and weather or not it's normal for a child to be this big at her age. It's a nightmare buying clothes as she ranges between an age 13 and an adult size 12.
I'm wondering weather a doctor might advise something to slow down her growth rate and delay puberty? Do any of you have experience of this? Thanks
