Hello and welcome to ehealth. Does she drink milk/fomula? Are you or hubby small?

That isn't an unhealthy weight for 12 months. My daughter is 20 months and only weighs 21 pounds. The doctor said although it's small for her age, it's not unhealthy or uncommon.

My daughter was about 18 lbs when she turned one, in fact she was close to two before I was able to turn her around in her car seat. Where is she on the doctors growth chart? Our doc always said that as long as they are in the "normal" range, and showing some growth in either weight or height with each checkup, then they are probably fine. He coined my daughter as "petite", and she was always down in the 5-9% percentile of the charts. She just turned 3 in Febuary and she is still only 26 pounds. But she is healthy and happy. My 10 month old, by comparison, is already 20 pounds. They were brought up with the same formula and foods. I wouldn't worry unless she falls significantly off the growth charts.

My 1 year old weighs 18 pounds and our doctor said he was in the 10th percentile which is still fine. We feed him a lot. But he doesnt gain weight. The doctor said he is just a very active little boy. He is always running around everywhere so I believe it burns a lot off of what he eats.So if ur little one is just pretty active that could be why your baby is on the thinner side like my son. I believe theyre perfectly healthy. As long as they get enough to eat and theyre not all skin and bones I think theres nothing wrong and some babies are just skinny. just like some adults are skinnier than others, everyones different, its the same concept.

Hi, I don't think you need to worry. My son weighed 15 kg (I know it's a lot more)
for about three years and only started gaining then. My sister's little girl also weighs so little, she's lighter than her brother who's two years younger (she's 5) and some baby clothes (12 to 18 months) still fit her!! She also went for tests and stuff, and they couldn't find anything wrong.

My daughter just turned one and i am worried about her weight she eats healthy and still not over 20LB what can i give her to gain more weight, do i give her less naps or what, Please help me

Don't worry.. My doctor put us through torture with my son because he was tiny.. He is one and weighs 19lbs. She sent us to get all different test done like siliac, cystic fibroses and acid reflux along with blood work for everything else. Everything came back perfect. The doctors will make you worry. My son has been walking/running since he was 10 1/2 months old and he also started crawling before he was 6 months old. He eats alot and drinks his milk. So we have decided to enjoy him and stop worring about it. He is healthy and active. The doctor also never took in to consideraqtion that when I was 5 years old I only weighed 28lbs and wore a size 3x. So don't worry about their weight as long as they are healty and active. Just enjoy your child...
