Daughter gaining weight way to fast....any ideas?

I have nothing that I can offer to you except my own experience. My daughter is going to be eight years old next month and when she started kindergarten two years ago she was 5 years old and 65 pounds. She is now almost eight years old and 72 pounds. Where she used to look chunky, she looks lean now. She is also very active. I think a lot of it is due to the growth spurts that they are going through during this time of their lives. That said, you can ask the doctor to do a complete blood count and see if something were to show up in that.

Firstly do not be afraid of being wrong as a mother you want to do the impossible to assure your child is healthy as sometimes the health care professionals do not dig deeper than they should. I say this because my son was experiencing some repetitive behaviors that I as his mother knew something was not quite right. Even after being shunt by several pediatricians they kept telling me my son was okay and that he would out grow it. One doctor gave me a mean look and quietly told me not to speak of this. Well as my son grew older my son behavior was more erratic. It was I who discovered my son suffered of OCD. It was a very difficult time in his life as he was always so stressed and overly reactive. So after I and my daughter worked with him, which it took several years. I can tell you OCD never gets cured but I can certainly tell you that after a great many stressful attempts my son lives a wonderful life without any meds and or counseling as he just graduated college this last May with a 4.0 GPA all his four college years and was the President of his frat. So you see everything I did for him paid off in the end.f So the moral of my explanation is that as a mother you do what it takes until you as the mother feels satisfied that you are doing and or making the right decisions when it comes to your little one, as no one will care as much as you. Many blessings and wishes for you both, hope that all gets resolved.
