Do I need to do something about this?

Naomi hasn't gained any weight in at least a year.  She's 24 lbs, she'll be 3 in June.  She looks perfectly healthy, but she is petite.  She eats ok...neither of my kids are big eaters, but she does well with fruits and veggies and lean protein, and she loves cheese and yogurt.  All of her dairy is full-fat.
I mean, I think she's healthy, but am I going to get in trouble at her 3 year appointment?

DD was the same weight for a year. She is now 43 lbs and is 6. She didn't gain weight for a year then gained 10 lbs in a year. That was from 4 to 5. Now from 5 to six she gained none but got taller.
What does your doc say

how much does her sister weigh?

woops I see you haven't sene the doc yet. I would say if she eats a balanced diet and isn't gaining I wouldn't worry.

My doctor wasn't concerned (I was) when she hadn't gained weight. I wonder this year though because she got her tonsils and adnoids out and that was the year she gained 10lbs. Now this year.. nothing.

DS1 didn't gain a single pound from year 1 to 2. From 2 to 3 I think he gained 2 and even then it wasn't until the last couple weeks before his 3rd birthday. I guess see what the doctor says, but they always told me not to worry and that it was because he was active.

I wouldn't worry too much. If she appears to be healthy, isn't exhibiting any signs of trouble, is eating well, growing otherwise, etc. then I doubt there is anything to lose sleep over.

Ok, thanks guys. Sloan, Maya is about 30 lbs, I think, and probably 2 inches taller right now. They are both slender but Naomi is smaller all around.

Sounds like she has just hit a "pause" on the weight thing. I remember vividly that it took literally a year and a half for T to gain 1.5 pounds. It was ri.dic.u.lous
