What should be the weight of my elder son of 5 yrs n younger one of 5 month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No should..: Your children's' weights will be based on genetics and nutrition there is no "should". The growth curve is a tool with a wide range of normal. Someone has to be small and someone has to be big. If they are consistently growing on a curve and developing well...That is where they "should" be.
