A member asked:
Is it healthy for my 8-year-old son to weigh 89 pounds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on: how tall he is. If he is 4 '8 " to 4'11", it is a good weight. If he is a lot shorter than that, it may not be. You can ask his doctor what is a healthy weight based on his age and height.
