Re: Growth charts - my experience

[Guest guest]

Just a heads up, Zoe was at 18% weight for height two years ago and we got in

major trouble with Dr. H. I'm not saying she was wrong - it really opened our

eyes to the damage we could be doing by giving Zoe the wrong foods. We are

shooting for 12% to 15% this year!

is 25% weight for height (I believe). I haven't

looked in awhile. I think Dr. H likes them to be at

least 15% or more of course.

I am not sure what you are talking about. Iam sorry can you explain what 18%

height for weight is, and whats 15% or more off course. I guess we will learn

all this when we visit her in July, I hope anyway.

Hi ,

Do you understand how to read the chart??? If so, you want to find where you

sit on the weight-for-height. Find the closest %curve and follow it across

the chart. This will tell you where you are in weight-for-height. Dr H likes

most of the kids to sit at the 15% line or below.

Dr H worries if our kids get too heavy, because they are prone to insulin

resistance, and Type II diabetes. It's really important not to let them get

too fat. This exacerbates the problems. Because most RSS kids suffer from

hypotonia, (low muscle tone) they have a tendency to put weight on as fat,

and not muscle.

Hope this helps!
