3 year old to skinny?

Question

My son will be 3 on the 20th of this month; does he look to "skinny" for his age. He eats and I mean he eats like alot but for some reason he's not gaining anything. He is 30 pnds and super tall; the doc said that's right on target for his age. There are days where he barely eats and it worries me because I fear people think we don't feed him. 
Any of your kids like this?

Answer

He looks perfectly healthy to me. Unfortunately a lot of children are over weight now so you can't compare him to others. 
The doc is happy and your son looks happy. 
My teacher at school would force me to eat second portions of lunch because I was skinny. My mum went mad when she found out. 
I didn't mind as I was the greediest kid around. 😬

Answer

Look at my 5 year old. He only weighs 40.5lbs. My doctor is starting to get concerned because he is the pickiest child ever. Doesn't eat enough so his weight fluctuates. Your son looks perfect.

Answer

My eldest is like that but he seems fine. It's not like he's lethargic or anything ski figure that he must be fine.

Answer

He's fine.

Answer

my 5 year old weighs 45 lbs and my almost 3 year old weighs 27 lbs I think he looks very healthy and there's no reason to worry

Answer

He looks normal and healthy to me. 30lbs sounds like an average three year old, no?

Answer

My youngest was like that, looked the same as the pics at that age, our doc said he was on target and healthy too but like you I worried as well, then this year (he's now 5) he's filling right out finally and getting more of a plump look now. It'll happen.

Answer

My 2yr old and 6yr old weigh almost the same. Their doctor told me as long as they follow their own growth curve or have any sudden dips in their curves not to worry.

Answer

Seriously he's fine. My four year old is 31 pounds.
