My daughter has a milk protien allergy and at two and a half years she still only
weighs around 20 lbs. I sometimes worry about her weight gain, but with both
myself and my husband having a high metabolism and a hard time gaining weight, I
usually just attribute this to a hereditiy of high metabolism. I know she is
eating enough... because at times she eats more than I do, her favorite being
peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
