What Is The Average Weight For A 2 Year Old Infant?
Question: Hi Doctor, I have a 2 year old baby girl. Her height is 90.5 cm and weight is 10.8 KG. We are a little concerned of her weight. Is this average and how can we increase her weight?
Brief Answer:
height and weight appropriate for age. No need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Both the weight and height of your daughter are age appropriate and you need not get concerned. Normal Weight Range for a girl of her age should be between 10 - 17 kg whereas the Normal Height Range is 79 - 95 cm. However, rather than a single measurement, it is important to measure these parameters from time to time and to plot them on a growth chart ( http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41c022.pdf ) to see if it is following the lines. It is only in the plotting cuts the percentile lines that you need to talk to a doctor.
A healthy normal diet should be fine. However, going through the following link should give you more information:
