Came across the NHS 'healthy weight calculator'. Dd 2 has just turned 7, she is 3'9 and weighs 4st 7 and is in the 96th centile and classed as overweight.
She however wears clothes for her own age and loves riding her bike and going on the trampoline, she doesn't look overweight.
Apparently the average weight of a 7 year old girl is 3st 6. Making dd 1st overweight Hmm
she eats the healthiest out of my 3dcs favouring fruit over choc and crisps.
Should I be worried

Ah... well that would be a nice outcome, some dodgy scales!!

My garden-gnome child can veer towards being a little stout.
