I don't think so, my 4 year old weighed about 3 lbs less than that when she was 2 and a half years old. She has grown a little be taller, and now weighs about 40lbs, but it's just right for her age. She's not chubby at all. I would say that your daughter is just fine.

I would ask your doctor. They have the chart where they record her measurements and you can see how she compares to other kids her age. Even if she is big for her age, it might not necessarily mean she is overweight. Usually if the height and weight are proportionate, there's nothing to worry about. My daughter is 22 months, and weighed around 20 pounds at her last visit. She's small for her age, but she is healthy. She just takes after her mother, apparently!

When it comes to getting answers to questions like this one, your best bet is to ask your paediatrician, mainly because the general public is not well informed on ideal weights for children. With such a huge number of children developing eating disorders in early adolescence and pre-adolescence, you can't take the chance of taking the wrong advice from the wrong person and then applying to your child.

If your pediatrician isn't concerned...then I don't feel you should be. It's certainly healthy, which is a good thing.
One thing you can do is just keep an eye on the diet. If she's eating healthy, it's likely you have nothing to worry about...but if you're still concerned, talk to your pediatrician.

I don't know, but I would think your pediatrician can advise you best on this. With my kids, we were always talking to the doctors about what "percentile" they were in.

I have a chart that shows that she is within average but if you are worried enough about her, check with your pediatrician.
