May be: There are multiple factors that are considered in evaluating the wt of the children at this age. Birth wt, length of the child, genetics, and general health being jus the few.

Question 9

what could cause a toddler not to gain weight when they eat well balanced appetite? 18 month old not gaining weight and in 17th percentile

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Has your baby always been in the 10-20th percentile for weight? or has her percentiles dropped? if she is consistently in the same percentile range, then I wouldn't worry about her lack of weight gain.  However, if she was in the 50-75% for weight when she was 12-15 months old, and now has dropped to 17th percentile, then I am concerned.
