I can remember doing weights with my kindy class years ago (they were 5)and their weights varied from 12kg- 40kg!!!
My DS is 2 and weighs 15kg but he's petty chunky.
My DD is 4 1/2 and she weighs 24kilos. She is 125cm tall thou. from birth she has always been above the 100 percentile. I was worried that she would stand out at kindy but she blends in as they are all different sizes.
Thanks everyone for making me feel better. haha! I dont normally worry about much to be honest but for some reason lately i have. Maybe i have just had alot of people tell me lately how small and skinny he is but they grow at their own pace and it all pretty much evens out in the end. I have my DS jay who is tiny, my DD tahlia who is 21kilos at 6.5 years old so totally average and little ella who is not so little at the moment, 7.5 months and 10.5kilos. So that goes to show how different they all are. Thanks again..
My DD1 is around 14.5kg and she'll be 4 next month. DD2 is 12.5kg and she's 2 1/2. DD1 is skinny and has always been this way. She's just so active that no weight sticks to her frame. DD2 has a belly on her but the rest is thin like her sister.
My MIL told me that one of my BIL's told her that he believed DD1 to be malnourished so I can understand how others opinions affect how you view your children. She is NOT malnourished in the least. She eats lots of food throughout the day (she's a grazer) but is always on the go. Too many people make comparisons to what they perceive as the 'norm' and in my BIL's instance, it was his comparison to his daughter who was always getting comments from doctors that she was overweight as a toddler.
curl that is not nice at all what your BIL said. Their build is their build and at that age they are running around burning off everything they eat. I guess there really is no "norm"! Goodluck with the rest of your pregnancy!
