hello
I have a daughter who is 2 years old. she is currently standing tall
at just over 100cms tall and weighs around 2 stone 11lb. she has
only just turned 2. she has a large head, wears hats for teenagers,
has size 8.5G feet (very wide, hard to find nice shoes), eyes
slightly wide set, slight squint only noticable when tired. vomiting
issues, clumsiness, clumsey gait.
She isnt behind in any way devolpmentally. she walked at 10months
old, was sitting up at 5 months, crawling by 6/7 months. has about
20 words atm and is starting to put sentances together.
I have been concerned about her since about 6months old when she was
the average size of a 1year old. her 1st walking shoes were a size
5G. Everyone thinks she is older than she is (most put her at about
4/5years old). she has just started nursery one day a week and is
the youngest one there, but stands head and shoulders above the
other kids.
We have been to the paediatrician about her walking, and they
dismissed her as being clumsey due to her height. we have to go back
next year if things dont improve. she constantly wlaks into things,
has bruises, but her eyesight is perfectly fine (aside from the
squint).
She vomits regularly, but still gains weight. as she isnt 'failing
to thrive' we cant get anyone to take our worries seriously. She is
off the centile charts for everything, and all i get told by the
health visitors is to watch what she eats. but she rarely eats,
thats the main problem.
I dont know if anyone can help me find some answers, or if my
daughter is naturally large for her age.
