My son will be 3 years old next month,and at his last checkup was 38inches tall,but weighs 57 pounds...I have asked the doctor about this a few times,but he continues to tell me he isnt really concerned about it right now because he says muscle weighs more than fat-which i understand,and i do agree my son doesnt "look" fat!! he looks solid,but he doesnt have rolls or nothing like that...I'm not saying that I think it's healthy for my son to be at this weight-but he eats healthy most of the time!! and he doesn't it big amounts!! I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there thats been in my situation and how they took care of it??? The dr. also said that within a few months time my son could grow 3 or 4 inches and his weight would ration out... im just so worried---
