i just checked jack's plunket book and he was 9.39kgs at 14.5mths, so as the other ladies have said, stuff plunket just do what you are doing 
i was also told charli could do with a bit more weight on her.....she's 6.08kg and 63cm long so i think she's just right

Well she havent really lost weight at all. And she is not walking. She is literally running. went to go take a walk in the forest and she insisted on walking on her own. She must have walked at least 3km.
So she is definately in my opinion a really really active girl with an apetite to match.
Thank you so much for the replies mom. It did make me feel better. I just didnt wanted my pride or something to have gotton in the way of the health of my girl.

We just had Alan weighed at 2 and he was 12kg little on the light side so we have been told he needs to be reweighed and we need to start iotroducing toddler formula one a day to help. I think that is more cause he has lost weight rather then gain.

My dd was 7.58kgs on her first b/day and 8.65 at 15 months. Now at 20 months has just hit 10kg (wah hoo!!!)
Yep she's small but nobody ever said one thing about her being too small.
Hon, I would keep doing what you are doing, BF babies are known to be smaller and sounds like she is lovely and healthy

Keep in mind that between 1 and 2 years of age, babies' growth slows down, so therefore their weight gain and height gain slows down as well -- I read somewhere that if they continued growing in the second year the way they did in the first year of life, they would be the size of a 5-year-old by the time they're 2. (Creepy!)
My baby just had a 12.5 month check and was 8.5kg. She's been growing along the 25th percentile for height and weight, and is proportionate. Her gain in height and weight has been steady. I'm blessed with a laid-back and approachable Plunket nurse, who says that as long as they're going up and not dropping weight, it's okay. I'm going to follow her advice and just not worry about it! And you go, girl, for breastfeeding -- I wish Em had continued past her first birthday. I'm jealous!

My son at 15mnths was 12.8kg, now just over 2 he is 15.2kg. He has always been on the 97th percentile. And has never looked big/fat, coz he has always had a small/skinny face, must just be the big bones.
I think weight and heights can vary greatly, depending on genetics and lifestyle etc. I wouldn't worry about weight unless it was an extreame case of obeisty or grossly under weight. Each person grows at their own rate, not how the book expects them too.

My baby is 6 months old- can't really call him a baby anymore and he's already 11kg's. Still breast fed- 4 or so solid meals a day and some formula.

Just had my DS weighted and measured the other day:
12 months - 10.31kgs and 76cm in length
He's going along the 50% line in both just nicely.

Xanda has just had his 15mths plunket visit, even tho he is now 16 mths,
He is healthy and looking good the plunket nurse said.
He weighs 12.35kgs
He is 79cm tall/long
This was the first time we have seen this plunket lady as we have just moved, and I am not sure I like her, she kept refering to Xanda as she or her, and I kept saying he or him in reply. Plus she made some funny little comments that were a little insulting.

McKayla shot up from the 50% to 75 for height. And she weighs 9kg on the dot. The nurse that we got on Saturday was extremely friendly. Told me to not worry seems she is eating heaps and she definately doesnt look underweight. Just really busy, active and happy and that is what they want.

Haleighsmum, apparently toddlers tend to loose weight when they start getting more active so if Haleigh has started walking/running being more active that could be why she has lost weight. |
Haleighs been walking since she was 9months but she has started running alot more since she was around 15months or so. At my last mw appointment Haleigh thought it would be fun to weigh herself hehe (finally got her on some scales lol) 14kg now, no wonder it hurts to lift her lol

should probably measure how tall she is though, the plunket nurse didnt do it at ehr 15months check.
im not sure what percentile haleighs in but shes always followed the same line, and according to the docs shes healthy and you wouldnt think shes a heavy girl form looking at her, shes starting to look like a little girl now though, nothing babyish about her anymore

How much does your toddler weigh?
