My son will be 4 october 16 2014. he is 44 inches tall and 53 pounds. he is huge compared to other kids his age. should we worry?

Complicated: He is off the top of the chart for both height and weight, but a single data point is meaningless. If he has always been at or above the top of the chart, he is probably fine. Some people just don't fit into our defined norms. If this is a sudden change, then it needs to be addressed. Either way, follow up with his pediatrician is essential. Hope this helps!

Talk to Dr: 44 inches is within normal limits, but at the high end. 53 pounds indicate that he's about 25% overweight. Please have your son evaluated by his Pediatrician. The services of Nutritionist may be in order.
