Is there anything to worry about being heavy?

My DD was 17.3kg at 3.5, there is no way she's overweight! dD is crazy tall though and was 106.7cm at her check, she looks far older than she actually is, her BMI wasn't even done. I bet your DD is extremely healthy, I wouldn't worry xxxx

That was the other odd thing the nurse said - that they never like children to lose weight but grow into their weight and that we only need DD to grow 6 cm and she would be within healthy range - almost like she was a plant and with a bit more watering she could grow those 6 cm! She is 100 cm which is just above average.

I am not worried about whether she is overweight or not as I can see she isn't, but I do occasionally have these bouts wondering how on earth she can be so heavy and if is indicative of something wrong - her bones being made of heavy metal or something :-) - if you look at the WHO charts - weight for height she is above the 97th percentile for her age - that just amazes me.
