Mikayla carries her weight in her middle. She doesn't have the 'bloated or protruding" stomach that goes away with time. Hers is, well, fat.
It's not like I am intentionally making my daughter overweight and actually, she is NOT overweight, she just has a chubby belly, REALLY chubby belly that I conceal well with dresses in the summer. She gets a high amount of calories because she is still on infant formula due to her extreme milk alllergies. She drinks Soy formula and no, she won't take regular Soy milk and no, she won't take rice milk. And her sensory issues along with her milk allergy give her a very limited diet of things that she WILL eat. I don't want to get into a debate about feeding kids bad things. She eats pretty healthy for the most part but it's the formula that is her problem and she drinks a lot of it because she hates to eat foods.
So that said...does anyone know of some wide-waisted pants (jeans) that would work for her? She is VERY short-legged, another huge problem and wears 18-24M in length but needs like 3T in waist! Childrens place is too slim, Gap is too slim, looked at Target and Wal Mart and while Gymboree pants fit her SO perfectly, they don't make "basic" jeans without flowers or whatever on them. Someone has to be in the same boat as me. I really need a pair of jeans for her that aren't going to dig into her poor belly. It has to hurt! I know it does me when I have a FAT DAY. ROFL.
So please, give me suggestions, and I don't want advice as to how help her slim down. This child gets more physical activity than most children, she does not stop moving and running from the moment she wakes up, those that have met her know that. She is NOT sedentary (sp). Just chunky due to situations out of her and my control.
