95th percentile for weight
My son is in the 95th percentile for weight. He’s 26lbs and idk what that means. His pediatrician really didn’t touch base on it other than to tell me his in the 95th percentile. Do I need to cut back on how much he eats? Like I’m at a loss here.
Note he doesn’t eat bad foods all that much. His diet consists of LOTS of berries, proteins that range from breakfast sausage, to chicken, steak, pork. He has a several servings of veggies a day as well.
The only time he eats “bad” is two times a week we have either pancakes or French toast (home made on both) and snacks he’ll have anything from organic gold fish, to more fruit, to pretzels, to a fruit/veggie pouch, to cheese stick, etc. once a week we have pizza night where I take all the topping off the pizza and give them to him along with a side of some sort of fruit.
I’m just freaking out as my daughter was the complete opposite as my son. He eats 3 meals a day and about 2-3 snacks a day and has milk in the morning.
Send all your tips and or comforting words if you also have a 95th percentile baby.

It just means he weight more than 95% of kids his age. If ped wasn’t concerned and baby is healthy- I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s just how they track growth & compare. You’re not doing anything wrong. Some kids grow fast and some slowly trend up & then have a spike ..
My son is in the 96th percentile. 🥹🥹🥹 I’m not too worried about it—most of the meals are home cooked except for chick fil a or pizza but even then he’s not too intrested in those. We loved home made foods. I love that he’s a great eater and enjoying every minute of it. Our pediatrician is hopefully he will slim down as he starts walking soon.
No girl he’s perfect! He will probably be tall!
