How do i get some weight onto my 3 year old?

[nothing2lose]

My 10 year old weighs 29kg and she is fine.

I think at your DS's age they are starting to grow up and lose their baby look iykwim.

really? he just looks frail to me?
my 4 year old ds weighs 28kg.

It could just be that his how he is IYKWIM? Fast metabolism?

Does he eat a good diet? I guess all you can do is try to get a good balanced diet into him. My DS seems to go through phases with eating. Some weeks he eats like a horse and others he seems to survive on air only. He has just turned 3 and weighs 17kg.

Incorporate high calories foods into his diet. Cheese, milks, yoghurts, have a google of what foods are high calorie.

My DD was sick earlier this year, and didn't put weight on for months. She was frail, weak and looked ill. She had a Staph infection in her digestive tract.
Since then, she's fluttered between being a good eater and a fussy eater, BUT has put on 3 kg's and now weighs 16kg. Finally, she's moving into the next clothes size. We've spent 9-12 months in size 2 clothes now, bring on the 3's!!

Follow your instinct, do something to his diet if you think it's necessary. xx

DD1 is nearly 4 and is 16kg i think.

looking at my MCHN book it says boys 3yrs he would be about 90th% at 18kg (roughly)

DS is 5 and 17kgs..... I think you're 3 year old sounds like he's doing well.

I think his weight sounds fine. My DS1 is 4 and he weighs around 17kg, my DD is 5 1/2 and weighs about 18-19kg. I don't think he sounds under weight, or skinny. Though I suppose it would depend on his height.

The concern with my DD, was that she hadn't put on weight for a considerable amount of time, and was floating in 3rd -10th percentile.

[Ginger]

ok, so maybe i'm worrying over nothing?
90%? really? geez there must be some skinny 3 year old boys walking around if that's right.

FWIW my daughter is 3 and is only 13.5kgs.
