DD recently turned 2. While I was checking DS's weight for the car seat, she jumped on the scale. I've basically put her details into the NHS checker and she's coming up as 3rd centile for BMI.
For context:
-- She has always been slim, and she's also tall (just over 91st centile).
-- she eats a variety but not always a lot. I've always followed my children's appetites, never force them to eat or deny it when they're hungry. Most of food is homemade, lots of fresh ingredients, etc. Food is also for pleasure/fuel, never use it as punishment or reward and so on.
-- developmentally, she is very bright, talks a lot and thriving. She's happy and active.
Today, a relative made a comment that she's skinny and needs feeding up. I'm slim myself and generally not hung up about weight or anything but her BMI centile and the comment have made me second guess myself. Should I be concerned? She's always followed the same lines so just naturally tall/slim but I'm wondering if I should be making sure she eats more, or speak to HV??
