He's 4, tall and skinny. You can see his ribs! I had another dr show me his chart and showed on the growth chart where he's the size of an average 6 year old. That made me feel better.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385199648152257249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847258519094363449.post-46497813289135233292009-11-10T14:14:36.543-05:002009-11-10T14:14:36.543-05:00He has become a LOT more mobile since he was 6 mos...He has become a LOT more mobile since he was 6 mos. He is crawling, pulling up and cruising now.<br /><br />I am upset because he immediately went to formula as the solution. Usually my ped. seems pro-breastfeeding.Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341112847255454593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847258519094363449.post-23952479408731656382009-11-10T13:58:45.711-05:002009-11-10T13:58:45.711-05:00Oh, I really wouldn't worry.

They like it when we don't trust our own instincts as parents--maybe it makes them feel ultra-superior. I don't know. YOU know your little one the best, out of everyone. I'm sure he is more active at his age...and maybe his metabolism is very high!<br />Doctors and their magic "numbers". Statistics are for scientists, not parents...not children.pippirosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434077761560911345noreply@blogger.com
