Weight - BMI or individual?

Hi all,

There's a long history with my daughter. She's 2.5 and small, always has been. She wears 9-12 month clothes.

I weigh her periodically and each time she is slowly dropping down the percentile chart - she's now 0.66 for weight. August last year she was 2.5 percentile for weight.

But when I put her weight and height in to the NHS BMI calc for kids she's about 15th on there.

So, should I worry or not?!

I know you aren't all Dr's but I'm still waiting for another referral to come through for a paediatrician to take a look at her.

She's happy, she is delayed speech wise and being assessed for Autism.

Any advice appreciated.
