A member asked:

My son weighed 6lbs 12 oz at birth he is now 3 yrs 4 months old and weighs 30lbs and is39 inches tall he seems small compared to other kids around him is he normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal pattern: Those numbers place him at 25% for weight at birth & the same now. He is a bit taller than average for his age & that would give him a lean appearance. I would consider the numbers well within the normal range of growth.
