My daughter is 27 months but her weight is only 24 pounds. She is a normal child, eat, play .... but she does not gain a lot of weight since she was 6 months old. by the way, her weight when she was born was almot 8 pounds. I talked to her doctor many times but he said as long as she is healthy, you don't have to worry about. I used to breastfeed her until she was 24 months old then I stop . Thank you so much for this helpful website it helps us alot again thank you and good luck to you and Allah with you.

Keep in mind that many factors influence how children grow, including their genetic potential (how tall their parents and other family members are), underlying medical problems (such as congenital heart disease, Down syndrome, etc), and their overall nutritional status.

Growth charts are an important tool for monitoring children's
development, but they are just one of the tools used to ensure a child is growing and developing
How your child has been growing can be more important than what percentile he is in. Children at or below the 5th percentile for weight may be normal if their growth velocity, or the rate at which they are growing, is normal. Children that are small with a normal growth velocity will have their own growth curve on the charts that runs below, but is still parallel to the 5th percentile. It is important to look at a number of different values of height and weight over time to figure out a child's rate of development.
development should be discussed with your Pediatrician.
