I just joined and I have a points guide. . .first off they say that children under the age of 17 needs medical permission.  The point guide I have is for adults and this is the breakdown:\n\nYour weight right now / daily point target:\nless than 150 # / 20 * points\n150 - 174  / 22 points\n175 - 199  / 24 points\n200 - 224  / 26 points\n225 - 249  / 28 points\n250 - 274  / 30 points\n275 - 299  / 31 points\n300 - 324  / 32 points\n325 - 349  / 33 points\n350 or more / 34 points\n\n* = growing teenagers - females under the age of 16, increase your daily points target by 2 for an extra serving of milk products. \n\nI hope this helps, however an 11 year old weighing only 98 pounds truly shouldn't have to worry about anything, especially if the "entire family" is on board with weight watchers.  She should be eating healthy foods because the parents are preparing healthy foods.

Check with the pharmacist.   There are medications that come in "sprinkles" that you could add to his/her favorite food.\n\nIf the child is always congested, have you considered food allergies?

I am so feeling you about the same subject. I have 2 kids and just last year got serious about loosing my pregnancy weight. I went to a GNC and got Zantrex-3 (bottle of 112 pills for about $35+tax)but Relacore was popular too and the reason I didn't get that was b/c it also helped out on altering your mood. But I'm not depressed, just a slow metabolism. I was tring to loose the last bit b-4 my cruise in May. My husband was just compliminting my weight loss over the weekend. Keep in mind to watch what you eat and at least 30min. of exercise per day. Good Luck.

Such an excessive (22 pounds for Americans) weight gain isn't healthy to encounter in such a short time. Your best bet is to do it more gradually, and make sure you keep your doctor abreast of anything that seems wrong.

Having two kids I found that there are a bunch of things to try: Karo Syrup, Juice, Suppositories, prune juice diluted with water, and the list goes on and on.  Your best bet, for your child's safety is to call the hospital and ask to speak to a nurse.  They will give you specific remedies for you child's weight and age!

no, no, no NO NO NO. A 4 year old child should never go on a diet.I don't know exactly how heavy she should be but just make sure she eats sensibly and gets plenty of exercise(most 4 year olds like to run around a lot anyway)

I'm glad you asked this question.  To be frankly honest there is a range of acceptable heights and weights for boys and girls.  11kg translates to approximately 24 pounds.  For a 2 year old girl, this is most likely a good weight.  The next time you are at her pediatrician's office ask for a height and weight chart for girls.  That way you can keep better track of her progress.

This depends on the fluoride level in your water supply.\n\nIf you have less than 0.3 ppm, she should stay on 0.5 mg for now, but start taking a full 1 mg QD at age 6.  If you have between 0.3 and 0.6 ppm, she should only be on 0.25 mg and increase to 0.5 mg at age 6.

Your child's chart will be at your pediatrician's office.  Here is a chart on-line to check and see where she/he falls in the norm.\n\nhttp://www.keepkidshealthy.com/growthcharts/\n\nThings can change quickly, though.  If your doctor is happy with your child's weight, don't worry about "too small" or "too heavy."  \n\nI hope this works for you.

I think your weight and height is fine. My child weights 115 and is 5'5.  beside you shouldn't worry about your weight, you should worry about your body fat.  It should be about 18%.  Here's how I put on weight, I had to kids.  at 17, I don't recommend it.  Since you frame is smallest, why would you want to put on weight?  What is the weight went on and you blimped out, you'd waddle like a penguin, would you be happy then? Stop it, you are fine, leave well enough alone, someday you might put on that weight and believe me you will not like it.

no, her bmi is 18.9, the normal weight ranges from 18.5 to 24.9, so she is quite normal in her weight

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

My daughter weighed 50 pounds for about 3 years.  My wife just kept a watch on her diet and let her grow out of her problem.

I feel your pain, and share your view in general on medications. I have a daughter, now 8 years old who has ADHD. They told me when she was six that she needed to be medicated and I absolutely refused to consider it. I thought that medication was being used way too often and I was not about to put her on it. Well, things continued to get worse for her, me our family as we tried to control her behaviors without meds. She started losing her friends, doing poorly in school, and her brothers started to resent her for the behaviors she would act out and ruin our family outings. I finally agreed about 6 months ago  to try her on the lowest dose possible to try to make things a little better. Now, I regret not doing it sooner. She is by no means perfectly behaved or on task, but she is now able to do her school work with minimum redirecting, sustain friendships, and has control over her behaviors. This medication has not altered her pesonality or put her in to a dazed state like I thought it would. It really has just helped her to be able to live a more normal life. She still has her times when she doesn't want to listen, do homework and pouts or cries, but it is now within reasonable limits. I agree that medication should not just be handed out like candy, but sometimes the child really does need it. With proper monitoring and dosage your son should be fine. The only side effect my daughter has had is a little weight loss, but even that tapered off after the first 2 months. She is a much happier child now, and it is a much more peaceful house. I wish you luck with your son, and in making this decision, as I know it is a hard one to make. I fought it for 1 1/2 years. Good Luck.

basically, wait training is unhealthy for children under the age of 11.\n\nDue to constantly changing bodies, the added stress of weights may do more harm than good. However, with that said,\nI would concentrate on light weights, high reps, and perfect her form.  It is now that you can manage her desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You should also instill in her the notion that being to fit may also be a hazard ie: Katie Moss, etc.\n\nDO NOT ALTER HER DIET. Maintain a healty diet consisting of 15% Fat, 25% protein and 65% carbs. DO NOT ADD SUPPLEMENTS other than a vitamin. (children SHOULD) recieve all of their nutrition from food, and not pills.
