[QUOTE="whateveryousay2007, post: 172383, member: 4265"] Okay my little guy just turned 9. He's always been little for his age, he's 4'3 & weighs 52 lbs. ( He's in the 6th percentile for weight. ) He looks more like a 6 year old than a 9 year old. I don't really put a lot of thought behind his size because his regular pediatrician keeps telling me he's fine. Over the weekend he played in the swimming pool with kids ranging from 6-9. When he took his shirt off I was getting looks. The feed your kid look. He just doesn't eat like a normal kid. He hardly eats at all. I know some of it can be attributed to him being on medicine. But, I'm sure the sensory issues play a part too. He actually eats more now than he has in the past. His bio-dad is skinny too, but I'm concerned that he's too small. (I'm not concerned about his height...he's actually grown about 2 inches since he's been to the doctor.) He goes to the developmental pediatrican this month. Of course I'm going to express my concerns to him but I'm just curious if anyone else has this issue & what they've done about it (or plan to do about it)..... [/QUOTE]
