Dd weighed 13kg at 2yr check 6 wks ago. 75th centile weight, 50th for height so perhaps a little on the chubby side. Since then has gone from being a good eater - 3 big meals - to not so good - good breakfast but then just picking at food. This follows mild virus. I noticed the other day that I could see her ribs for first time ever! Weighed her today - 12kg exactly so 1kg loss in 6 weeks. Even allowing for difference in scales this seems a lot - 8% of her body weight.
How worried should I be? Doctors/HV now? Or just watch and see if eating improves, gains weight?
