Toddlers: 24 Months+

Weight and height

How much did your toddler (especially boys) gain in weight and height from age 2 to 3? Ds is still growing height-wise, but he has not gained anything in 7 months. Now, he did lose 1.5lbs after his 2 yr check-up and has now gained that back, but nothing more. He has also grown 2-2.5 inches so far, so he looks so skinny. He is a terrible eater (the 'will eat when hungry' thing doesn't apply to him). We are starting feeding therapy again next month, but I'm just wondering what the experiences of moms with kids w/o feeding issues are. Thanks in advance!

    DD was about 23 lbs at her. 2 year check up and at her 3 year check up about 27 lbs. she has been around 27 lbs for about 3-4 months. She gained 2.5 in the past year (she is 50% for height and about 10% for weight). Se is a good eater if that makes any difference (probably not really)

  • He was 34lbs and 34" at his 2yr. We went in for his brother's 6mo appt and asked to have him weighed and measured last week. He was 39.5lbs and 37 1/4". His birthday is in the beginning of November... so 5.5lbs and 3 1/4" so far.

  • My son gained no weight in the 5 months between his 2 year well visit and a sick visit in July. He did grow about 2 inches, though.

  • Not exactly sure but I will say he got MUCH taller and not much heavier at all.

  • DD gained 5 lbs and 4 inches between 2 and 3. Her doctor double checked the numbers and said that was a LOT for her age. I'm the past she has been much smaller than her classmates and in the past year is starting to catch up to them, so it makes sense that he growth was above average.

  • DD has only gained about a pound or two since her 2nd birthday, 7 months ago.  As for height, I think she's gained about 1/2 an inch, so not a lot of growth around here.  Curious to see what she is at her 3rd birthday checkup.

  • Thanks everyone. It is helpful to get a real sense of wat is typical. I know ds has unique feeding issues, but he has his whole life nd has always still grown. This is the first time the weight stopped so we have been worried. Though he gained a ton betweenb 1 and 2, so maybe he is slowing down now. He was only 17.5lbs at a year but 28lbs at 2. Now of course he is still 28lbs, but also almost 37in tall.

  • 28 pounds is pretty good for a 2 year old.  I think LO was 29 at 2 and then 32 at 3.  Or something and both years has been solidly in the been in the 50th percentile

  • Yeah, it was a big jump for him.  He tracked at 3rd percentile before that, so we were so excited for him to catch-up, and it's hard watching all that effort go away. Each meal takes an hour and he eats maybe 5 things. He lives on pediasure.

  • DD2 went from 36" and 30.8 lbs at 2 years to 40.5" and 34.8 lbs at 3 years. That's approx 4.5" and 4 lbs. DD1 went from 37 3/4" and 29.8 lbs at 2 years to 41.5" and 36.5 lbs at 3 years.

  • weight, about 4.5 lbs. (26 - 30.5)

    height - 3 inches (35 - 38)

    To say he is a good eater/eats a lot is the understatement of the century. 
  • I dont post much on this board but do lurk.  I was concerned with my little dude.  He only gained a pound in a half in between his 2nd and 3rd year but he did grow about 3-4" .  He's now 3 1/2 and has gained 6 pounds in 6 months.  My primary told me not to worry much about not gaining and that he thought he was focusing all his energy on growing.  He told me he was almost certain he would gain soon and he was right!! 
  • We just had 2.5 year check up and he was 32lbs, 34.5 inches.  He'd lost a lb and grown about 2 inches in the last 6 months.
