Is my daughter underweight

[bananaramaaaa]

My daughter is almost 5 and I just weighed her, she weighs 2st 8 so around 16kg. She is about 104cm.

Her diet is very limited as she has sensory issues and not a massive appetite.

My 5 year old daughter is 16.5 and the school weight report in reception last week plots her as a healthy weight on the 15th centile. She and her brother are both slim and very slender.

is it a sudden drop in weight?

My little boy is 5 in the summer and weighs 15kg, he's 9th centile for weight so I would say she's not underweight.

No, she's between the 9th and 25th centiles for height and weight.

According to the BMI calculation for children she is a healthy weight

Oh good! Thanks everyone.

My almost 5 year old hovers at just 16kg. He’s taller so is a bit low on weight, but he won’t eat more and moves lots. He seems healthy

Seems fine to me. My DD is 5 in May and had her weight and height done in October and was 98.2cm and 16kg, they had no concerns.
