Depends on situation: This would be considered a normal weight by cdc standards for a girl measuring 99 cm tall.It is considered in the bottom 3% of weight compared to age equivalent peers. You can download a growth chart from the cdc website & compare the various measurements of the child at different ages to get a pattern. See:www.Cdc.Gov/growthcharts.
