Hi doctor...I have two daughters. Both are healthy and active. Problem is my younger one is very lean. But active in studies and playing. She is 8 yrs old and weight is 23. Does she need to put on more weight at this age. I dnt want her to look fatty. But want to know the reason why she is lean. Both me and my husband are fatty enough. Any medical check up is required?
