Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 My son was only 16 lbs at 2 years old wearing 6-9 month clothes. Children with DS have a different growth chart. Make sure that your pediatrician is using that growth chart and not the " typical " growth chart. That being said, was still considered small, but was in proportion for his height. They did put him on pediasure to supplement his food since he had a problem with most food and textures. He still is very small for his age. He is 11 and is only about 63 lbs. But he is in proportion and looks great! Don't know if this helps, but if you are working with the docs and they are on top of it, then I wouldn't stress too much.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 is in the 10th percentile for " normal " kids on the growth chart, but the 60-70th for a kid with DS. Natasha at 7 is nearly as tall as BJ. Aussie Leis- mum to , Natasha, and Liliana Man is the only creature that seems to have the time and energy to pump all his sewage out to sea, and then go swimming in it Miles Kington kym mac wrote: > Children > with DS have a different growth chart.
