How much do your 5 - 6 year olds weigh?
Parker just turned 6 on 9/14. I took him to the dr today (not his well check yet but for a strep test) and he weighs 37.4 pounds, which I am fairly sure is what he weighed last year too. His BMI is now just 12 (not even on a chart) and he's dropped to 5th % on the height/weight growth charts from what I can tell, which is off from his usual 20th percentile. I'm freaking out a bit and wondering if he's got some sort of malabsorption thing or something else going on since he does eat well (will eat whatever we eat, doesn't have the typical "little kid nugget only" diet). We started him on Pediasure shakes last year to try to get him to gain, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Just looking for some points of reference to as just how skinny he is compared to others....
