Is your 3 yr old LOSING weight?

DS is 3, and is now about 29 lbs, down from about 32 lbs about 4 months ago at his 3 yr visit. I expected him to slow down on weight gain, but not lose. He hasn't been sick, lately, either.  He's a good eater (picky like any toddler, but he eats at every meal), and he's growing tall and losing his baby fat, so I'm not too worried. He doesn't have a Dr. appointment scheduled in the near future, but wondering if this is something that should be addressed. What do you think? Any experiences? TIA

    DD has not lost weight, but only gained 3 lbs in a year.

    My girls were 29 lbs and 31 1/2 lbs at their three-year checkup in Oct.  We went to the ped yesterday, and the smaller one is 31 lbs and the larger just 32.

    I think it sounds pretty normal.

    He hasn't lost, but he hasn't really gained either (he was 3 in August) - and honestly, he doesn't need to.  He's gotten taller and looks like he's slimmed out.  Also, his shoe size hasn't changed since at least August - I just had him sized.  I would say they're slowing down...

    Mine isn't losing weight, but since his 2 year apt (7 months ago) he hasn't gained an ounce, literally, and has grown about 4 inches taller, so I guess I look at that almost as having lost, since he's grown so much in height, that re-distributed weight :)  He's 2 yrs 7 months and weighs 31 lbs even, so I think you're right on target.  They move so much at this age I'm betting its fine to lose a little too.
