Corrine, you wrote that part of the reason this isn't an issue for you is
that "I was small as a child and my husband is very tall and has always been
very thin."
Do either your mother or your husband's mothers have your old doctor visit
records from childhood?
My daughters were both down in the 0 percentile, but because I was able to
show the ped documentation that they were bigger than I had been at the same
age, she was satisfied that they were thriving.
I've recommended this trick to other mothers who were similarly confident
that their kids were within family norms, and it has been calming to their
pediatricians as well.
It's part of the reason that even though I basically don't care much what my
kids weigh I keep a good record for each -- they may want to use it this way
in 25 years!
