    What r u kids weights at 3? Mine turn 3 in July girls and I'm guessing they will be 25 and 30 lbs. I worry some about my little one but I've decided shes just little and that's how God made her. We were on peractin for weight gain but ive stopped it! I hate dumping mess in them all the time!!!

    At closer to 4, my two are in the low 30's. My two are 33 and 34 pounds. I think when they turned 3 they were 29 and 30 pounds.

    we just turned 3 and my dd is 26 or 27 and my ds is 29. the doc said their weight was "perfect"! so I wouldn't worry so much. our average height at 37 and 37 1/4" tall. and they've stayed on their growth curves for the last 18 mo or so... my dd is about 5-7% and my ds is 10-15%... skinnies.

    My girls are 3 years, 5 months. They currently weigh 27 and 28 pounds. Our pediatrician is very nutrition oriented (that's why we chose him after leaving the NICU) and he has never suggested medication for weight gain. He is only concerned that they maintain their growth curve. He also points out regularly that we probably shouldn't expect them to be super tall basketball players because they just aren't built that way and would probably still be nearly this petite even if they hadn't been preemie. I'm not at all concerned about my little peanuts, but I am annoyed that I can't find pants that will stay on their little butts. :rolleyes:

    My two turned 3 in December and my DS was 27 lbs and 14 oz and DD was 27 lbs and 4 oz. I swear, they feel heavier then that!

    Mine were 26 & 27lbs at 3yrs old. Mitchell was on Peryactin for 3 years. That was honestly a huge difference for us. I do not like to give mine medication and as pp's stated as long as the kids are on their growth curve, thats what is most important. Mitchell fell off the growth chart (and he was a chubby kid...not huge by most peoples standards but had baby fat) and lost 3lbs when he had rsv. He struggled so hard to gain weight. Now at 6yrs old he weighs 36lbs. Still tiny...but eating and growing.

    I'm trying to remember their weights at 3. I know Jesse had some weight loss right before their birthday. He was around 23.5 lbs. I think Joshua was almost a lb heavier, so about 24.5 lbs. I wish we could have tried periactin! I know it would have helped. Instead it has taken over 3 yrs since they were declared FTT to get them on the chart (or at least I think they are finally on the chart for weight).

    My girls are 3.5 and are each 27 lbs. At the 3 year check up they were around 25 lbs each. My two can't hold up a pair of pants for anything.

    25.5 and 28lb. Honestly the doctor just said that some kids are just smaller/thinner, and as long as they eat well, not to worry about it.

    Google weight charts for ages 0-3 and you can see the growth curves for all of the different weight percentiles. That can help put your kids weights in perspective.

    And... to answer your question... I think at 3, mine were 29 and 26 pounds.
