(She wouldn't even finish a mini chocolate pudding!).<BR/><BR/>It's frustrating, but I'm also trying to tell myself, as long as she's healthy and plays, that's what's most important.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-46954154034793883932008-03-06T23:20:00.000-05:002008-03-06T23:20:00.000-05:00Mahotma Mama-You should know that my younger siste...Mahotma Mama-<BR/>You should know that my younger sister was like your daughter at her age. I don't remember the numbers but she had her own growth chart under the one at the doctor's office. She was so TINY for so long, though she was relatively average with height. You turned her sideways and she would practically disappear. IY"H she is getting married this summer a healthy young woman. Fast metabolism, picky eater, small appetite. But she made it through her chid and teen years just fine. Let your daughter be, and as long as her doctor doesn't think anything is wrong, you shouldn't either. Sister was a dancer for several years, her size helped tremendously (the leaps were higher than anyone else). Enjoy your skinny little girl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-52035990421594361062008-03-06T09:18:00.000-05:002008-03-06T09:18:00.000-05:00Thanks guys-I always love hearing stories about ot...Thanks guys-I always love hearing stories about other wonderful and perfect yet slender children. =) I need the extra happy nowadays because she is deep in the heat of her 2 year oldness so things she once LOVED (like tofu) are just shoved aside. She is VERY picky, it's SO frustrating. ACK! But she has to be getting enough calories and protein-that little girl runs me ragged!Mahotma Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786551826654542104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-2656199010069322612008-03-05T14:39:00.000-05:002008-03-05T14:39:00.000-05:00My son is also a non-eater very frequently.

This seems to have cooresponded with his first growth spurt in a year. <BR/><BR/>When I get nervous about his eating I try to step back and marvel at how amazing it is that he eats what his body actually needs. Imagine if we could all do that...no more diets, no obesity problem in this country, we'd all be healthy. When I focus on this my goal becomes to not interfere with this amazing talent my son has and instead try to keep him this aware of his needs as long as possible.mamaladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887689533702019292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-68495747131289515422008-03-05T13:55:00.000-05:002008-03-05T13:55:00.000-05:00Don't worry, your daughter's fine.

My mother (who has 7 healthy children) and my grandmother (who had 8) say that children eat what they need to. There's nothing to worry about if they're not ill. Sounds like your daughter will have great eating habits if she's into fruits and isn't into fats. My daughter is crazy about tofu and tempe; have you tried those, if you're worried about protein?Marcela Sulakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232403389788282812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-70294118458369017432008-03-05T13:47:00.000-05:002008-03-05T13:47:00.000-05:00B"HSame here, but with my son.

Meanwhile he runs around the house like crazy, climbs everything, can throw a ball across the room and hit one pitched to him.<BR/><BR/>Thank G-d we have a great pediatrician who said, "If he has energy, he's fine. Don't worry. The biggest worry today is not kids who are too skinny, it's kids who are too fat. Maybe we needed different growth charts ten years ago."<BR/><BR/>I felt better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644518523952793214noreply@blogger.com
