What is the average??

Question

height and weight of a 23 month old toddler girl??she is really picky i am reeally worried about her weight!she only weighs 25 lbs and is very slim!is it normal for her to be picky??

Answer 1

It is OK to be "slim". She is not underweight if you can't see her bones. I recently found my baby book, and I was 23 lbs at 2 yrs plus. That was 60 years ago.

Answer 2

Go to yahoo.com and type in pediatric growth chart. From there click on one of options, and from their you can find a growth chart for your child (ex: girl 0-24 months, or boy 2-18 yrs, etc). And as a nursing student who just finished up my peds clinicals, it's important to remember that those numbers are just a general average, and it is okay for your child to be over/under...as long as its not a drastic difference.

hope i helped =]

As a mother of 3 I have gone through this stage 3 times over. It is my experience that some kids at this age don't like certain textures of food.While 2 of my children are autistic this is a sensory issue for them.But my daughter who is 8 also went through that phase when she was about 2.It was a lot of trial and error to find foods that she enjoyed and that would help her maintain a decent weight.We also had her on pedisure to make sure she was getting some of the nutrients needs while she went through this phase.
