Toddler has slowed down on growth

He doesn't have any issues with feeding or health and was always around 75-90 centile for weight.

I've measured him and he's now 82cm which is quite small.

Should I be worried

no one on here is really going to be able to give you the kind of proper, relevant advice that your health visitor and doctor are going to be able to do. If you are worried they are the people to speak to. they will know what tests need to be done etc. all I would say is please, ALWAYS go with your gut reaction. you know your child the best and if you feel something is off then take it up with the health professionals on their behalf. 99 % of the time it will be nothing to worry about but really, go and speak to them and see what they have to say.

When did you last measure his height and what was it?

You are saying he was 75th centile for WEIGHT but what was he for HEIGHT?

You can't compare weight and height.

I do agree if you are worried about growth you should speak to a health professional as they need to see him.

I haven't weighed him, he's a healthy eater and losing his chub as suspected.

I'm just curious as to why he's always been in bigger clothes and he's still now grown out of 12-18 months

I'm not on good terms with health visitor so withdrew

You are not making sense! Your original post referred to his weight.

Might be good to get him checked by the HV so you have an accurate picture.

Correct, his weight when I weighed him. He's still a chunky one. Perhaps you misunderstood.

As written previous I'm not under HV and I called them and they said not to worry and no visits

What is his age in months, weight and height?
What was his age in months when last checked, plus weight and height?
