I have seen it happen, public forum so not a lot of details, but child was wearing 7-8 clothes at 18-24 months old. Was wearing 14-16s at 4
Was in a booster at 2, as there were no harnessed seats available to that weight at that time... Out of booster by 4 as was too wide to fit in one
Parents put child on a full diet, and did all sorts of medical tests, they found nothing wrong with child but still gained excessively Child is active, not a couch potato...My skinny kids eat 2-3 times more than this child!
Another child we know was 70+ lbs on 6th birthday, is now almost 120lbs at 7th birthday. Over-eating to blame there though child is active in sports.
