The age old question

Kentuckychick_8201 · May 2010

How much doesdid your 18 month old weigh and how tall are they?

DD is 30lbs and 32 inches tall. She is a little high on the weight side (95%) so the doctor recommended we go ahead and switch her to 2% milk. So I am curious where does your 18 month old stand?

We weighed him fully clothed & shoed on a WW scale yesterday and he was 27lbs. I'd say he's at least 32 or 33" tall - he was 31 at 15mos and I know he's gotten taller. We go for the official 18mo checkup on Friday.

DD was 23lbs13oz and 31.5in.

She has been on 2% for a couple months though. DS won't drink whole so we had that too. She was out of whole one time and I gave her 2% and she drank it much better so we just started giving it to her all the time.

DS was 25.6 lbs and 34 inches at his 18 month appt.

DS was never on whole milk. Pedi said to put him on 2% right off of formula. He's always been 50th percentile for weight.

19lbs 8oz and 31 inches tall? She's under %5 so we have an "oh s_hit" appointment in June to see if she gained weight yet. If not they are talking about supplements and hormones and stuff. She eats like crazy though and I'm not a giant at 5'2 and 100lbs when not pregnant..so I don't know. We'll see what happens =/

DSs 18mo appt is tomorrow but he's been around 2% for height and 14% for weight the last couple appointments, last time he was weighed I think he was 20lbs.

25 lbs and 31" IIRC.

23 lbs. (25%) and 30.5 inches (25%)

Weight: 28 pounds, 12.8 ounces (83rd %ile)
Height: 34.5" (94th %ile)

So, a little taller and a little lighter than your LO, but it doesn't seem like such a dramatic difference. We weren't advised to switch to 2% (but no one was concerned about how tiny he was, that's for sure).

Really, 2% isn't that different from whole milk. It's not like "whole" is "100%," you know? It's really more like 4%. I'm considering switching him before too long anyway.
