Please tell me its okay to have a skinny-mini toddler. - Page 2

post #21 of 22
My 26 month old barely weighs 25 pounds (I say he's officially 24, he was only 25 because he'd been with his dad for 2 days and hadn't pooped the whole time because he doesn't get boobymilk there).

He nurses as much as the baby does.

He does eat food, not a lot, hardly any somedays (like 1-3 bites is a decent meal for him).

He only hit 20 pounds when he was 15-16 months old. He was 8 lbs and 21 inches at birth, but he is a little less than 50% for height right now (but his biodad is only 5'7", and I'm barely 5'4") not that we do well-baby visits, so I'm not even sure he's that tall.

Meets all of milestones, pees/poops often (even has potty-learned already), very active, happy, growing, bouncy little boy.

Our other toddler DS is very small, 21 pounds at 31 months, but he has some major developmental delays/emotional issues going on. And he is obviously not perfectly healthy or happy or active at all. We're still working to find out what exactly is wrong.

Skinny is the rule wround here as well. DS is a little over three now and he just hit thirty pounds. He still fits in 18 month pants without a problem, at least for shorts in the summer. I'm going to be getting creative when he needs long pants in the fall.

Some skinny mini kids are just like that. If they have lots of energy and continue to be learning new things, I wouldn't stress too much.
