3 year old below 0% for height and weight on the growth charts. ?

Question

My daughter (who has always been at 15-20%) has only gained 2 pounds between 2 and 3 years old and is now below 0% for both height and weight. She has a good appetite and eats a basically healthy diet. Anyone else have a situation similiar. Any ideas on why she has stopped growing?

Answer 1

omg... i just posted the same question. my son is three and is in the 3%, he is almost 25 lbs and is 34" tall. the ped isnt worried about it cause his dad is small too. and i guess his body is portioned right. idk.. i think his head looks too big for his little body. but his head is in the 50-75%, so i guess that is why. idk what to do cause i hate it when people comment on how small he is. i just had my daughter 2 months ago and she is a big girl. she weighed 8.1 and was 21" at birth and is now 12 lbs and is 23 1/2" tall in the 95%. so idk. but im glad someone is there with me...:)

Answer 2

some are very slow gainers,, or havent had a growth spurt yet

my  20 month old has been 10.5 kg since she was 8mths old,,,, im waiting 4 her to grow,, shes gone taller but not her weight

ive seen many kids under 0% b very  very healthy despite getting tests done ect,, its very normal xxxxxxxxxxx
