I came across something, I think on MDC, about how gifted kids metabolize food differently. I've been noticing that my DD, age 3, is showing some signs of hypoglycemia. At the very least, she is a very hungry girl. I've, rather...

Thank you for the comments. They are reassuring, if not a bit confusing. Should I just completely ignore growth charts?    I haven't reduced the amount of protein she is offered and, if anything, I've increased it. More...

DD just had her birthday and well check and came in at 34 lbs. and 36 inches tall. The only thing surprising to me was her height, which was about an inch shorter than I thought it would be.    I've been concerned about...

Honestly, it sounds like your DD eats just fine. Similar to some previous posters, we only feed our DD food that we feel good about her eating. We also have set meal times and set snack times. I don't make special plates. Basically my...

I had a large chest from an early age. Full disclosure: I had a breast reduction when I was 21 because of the physical pain I endured due to my large breasts. I think it's fantastic that you took her to get a proper bra fitting. I...
