is it just me or do medical pro's seem okay with small girls but not boys?

i've had three girls and i've noticed that while my oldest was Failure to Thrive and really did look awful, nobody said anything except what next i should try diet-wise.

on the other hand, i know someone whose boy is not even "skinny", he's just a bit shrimpy (if you understand the difference) and she's being threatened with having him siezed and hospitalized if he doesn't put weight on pdq.

my youngest daughter is BIG - she's huge. she's the size, in all aspects: height, weight, and shoe size - of an average 5 or 6yr old, and i never hear the end of it. i should put her on a diet, i should cut out the junk food (that she doesn't get except for special occasions), i should put her in sports (that she's too young to play for the most part), etc, etc, etc. i don't force-feed her - in my house, the rule is definitely not "clean your plate" - it's "eat what you need and leave the rest". she has a very healthy diet - got mad compliments from two public health nurses when they did an all-day review (two nurses, two different occasionas) and saw what she eats on a day-to-day basis. they only had two comments: she eats a LOT and she is insanely hyper.

someone else in town has a boy that is practically my daughter's identical twin and nobody's said anything to the mother at all about it. he's not on any monitoring program, he doesn't have to see the doctor every three months to be weighed and measured, and so on.

could there be actual scientific rationale behind this apparent hypocracy or do you think it's a societal bias?

Update:

oops - sorry, forgot to mention my youngest is 3yrs and 9mo old. instead of taking a size 3 or 3x or 3T, she takes a 6x for the most part. average shoe size for her age is anywhere from 7 to 9 - she's growing out of a 13! basically, by her fourth birthday, she'll be wearing Junior size shoes - that means heels!

    I think there are some things that especially trigger people's interest about a child's appearance, and those things are different for boys and girls. With boys, it is most definitely height, though being underweight comes in a close second. Everyone and their mother has an opinion on why my son is so short, and feel it's necessary to share it with me (none of them seem to attribute it to genetics, btw, though I am quite short myself!) For girls, it's weight more than height.

    well, my daughter is very small for her age and when I go to the health department they freak out about the fact that she has dropped off the chart....those nurses there drive me crazy....so my problems like the opposite, but I think they have their statistics and they dotn really care about anything else
