We had the appointment at the Endo on Monday…
and… as I expected and really just knew all along, everything is completely normal with Khéna….
He is a big healthy boy.
Yes, He is very overweight, and off the charts at a bit over 18 kilos or 40lbs… but everything is normal…
They did mention that if he maintains the weight that he has now, he would come into the 97th percentile on the charts at age three… so they do think that he should not be gaining more… but there is nothing they can recomend for him not to gain weight… and because they could not blame overeating, because he really doesn’t eat much… they did try to hint that my milk might be too rich in calories and that he should be eating more solids… but then didn’t mention it again after they couldn’t explain why that would be when his two big brothers had the same nursing patterns and were/are pretty small..
I also asked if it was OK if ever he lost weight because with the spring and summer on the way and more outdoor play, swimming etc… and they said that there was no problem with that…
So for those IRL, and who read the blog and have been worried about Khéna’s weight… don’t worry… he is a healthy, beautiful and yes… big boy…
Great news Paxye! It must be a relief to be able to reassure any who would be worried about him!
Great! I’m so glad everything’s OK. Just an amazing boy, right 🙂
My son gained weight really fast and was a chunky little guy. I think he hit 20 lbs by 6 months. After he turned one, he went over a year and only gained maybe 2 lbs, but grew up instead of out at that point. Now I WISH I could put weight on him…he’s so skinny!
FYI – I found your site via Craftster…and I understand your woes with the sp@mmers. I moved to a different site and made sure I didn’t let it be searchable with the search engines (google, yahoo, etc) and now I barely get any sp@m.
