They are so fun. Munch balls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-percentile-drop-at-2-years#post-816894 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:17:25 +0000 Honeybee 816894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: The mango flavored yogurt balls? My kids LOVE those!</p> <p>Both of my kids were around the 50% for weight as infants and then dropped in toddlerhood. They're both really tall but they are super active, so their weight percentile is lower. At almost 3, DD is around the 20th percentile now; DD is 14 months and he is around 25th percentile. Our doctor told us to try and feed DS more, but he already eats a ton, so we haven't put that much effor tinto following his instructions. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-percentile-drop-at-2-years#post-816791 Thu, 30 May 2013 04:48:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 816791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: they alw ays measured her on CDC, so we didn't go through a switch. She's just a tiny slip of a girl (but mighty). If anything she's dipped a little more as she is now in the third percentile for weight and the second for height... But healthy as can be!</p> <p>Ooh there is a new greek yogurt granola snack at Costco that is packed with good fats and protein. We call them munch balls, I'm not sure what the real name is, but it's Greek yogurt, mango and granola. The girls live them but I can't get near them because they are so high cal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-percentile-drop-at-2-years#post-816721 Wed, 29 May 2013 23:18:39 +0000 Maysprout 816721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Did they keep measuring her on the WHO chart or did they also switch to the CDC chart at 2 years old and she stayed at the 4th percentile on the CDC chart?<br /> I'll have to start adding in more granola snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-percentile-drop-at-2-years#post-816718 Wed, 29 May 2013 23:15:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 816718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter has always tracked in the 4th%ile, so no drop off... but we just let her eat what she wants for the most part. She doesn't drink milk, so we make sure she gets a lot of fat from avocado, full fat yogurt and cheese. She gets to eat full fat granola too if she wants it. Lucky girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-percentile-drop-at-2-years#post-816712 Wed, 29 May 2013 23:08:19 +0000 Maysprout 816712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just had her 2 year appointment today and went from the 23rd percentile to the 3rd percentile for weight. The pediatrician didn't seem concerned but said she'd check her weight when LO#2 is born just to make sure she wasn't losing weight or anything. LO height stayed at the 50th percentile like it has since she was born though so I guess at least she's growing. </p> <p>So I was a bit freaked out and kept her up late trying to make her eat more and more. She doesn't always have the biggest appetite but she eats lots of avocados, eggs, pistachios, full fat cheese and yogurt, which seem like decent calorie foods. I had started buying 2% milk to consolidate the fridge a bit and since she's still nursing but I guess we'll go back to whole milk.</p> <p>I just looked at the WHO chart though and she's more in the 15th-20th percentile, which is what she had previously been measured on, but I guess at 2 years old the recommendation is to switch back to the CDC chart. I wasn't aware of that at the drs appointment but looking at the two charts at home it seems more like the weight percentile diff is due to switching of growth charts then some major change in her weight gain. </p> <p>So I guess did anyone else notice a change at the 2 year appointment in weight?<br /> Any recommendations for good foods to make sure she doesn't fall off the weight charts? </p>
