Hard to tell from ?: Most 3 yo will eat well 4-5 days a month and graze and nibble the rest. Their growth rate is expected to be 2.5 inches and between 2-6 lb/yr depending on various factors. If the child has some medical problem interfering with growth, only a visit to the doc with appropriate history, exam and possible testing can sort it out.
