A member asked:

If a male child is 4yrs 8mos old, is 42 inches tall, and weighs 36.6lbs, would he be considered to be too skinny or just right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well within range: These measurements are well within the normal range. This places the kid at ~40% height and 25% weight for males that age.You can follow his growth by downloading a growth chart fro the cdc. www.cdc.gov/growthchart.
