He's on the heavier side for kids his age. He's still taller than average, though, so in general he's just a bigger than average 2yo.Switching to low-fat milk and avoiding sugary beverages are standard things that we suggest at this age, so I wouldn't read into the pediatrician talking about those. That's the recommendation for every kid!
What exactly do percentiles mean for pediatrics?I took my two year old for his appointment today he weighed 32.2 lbs/90th percentile and his height was 34.5/63rd percentile.I know this might sound bad, but does this mean my child is on the short and chunky side? Only asking because I didnt mention his diet and the doctor never brought it up except to cut out juices and switch to 2% or 1% milk for him.. but didnt seem concerned with his weight and said his teeth were great.I shouldve asked, but my son was trying to get into everything, it got hectic and it completely slipped my mind to ask
