Not enough info: Ideal weight of a child can't be determined just by age, it depends on a lot of factors, like genetics, height, sex, etc. The best way to figure if there are any problems is to plot the weight and height on a growth chart and follow it for some time, it should be within certain percentile, usually if it falls within 50 percentile that means that it is average for given age.
