Did you notice his appetite waning?</p> <p>I am hyper aware if my son gains or loses, he's 3.</p> <p>For a kid, I'd probably be concerned with anything more than a 5% difference. Maybe weigh him for a week, at the same time of the day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1483016 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:10:42 +0000 pui 1483016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about that small a change. Weight fluctuates daily by 3-5lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1483009 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:08:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1483009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree time of day, water intake, BM, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1483004 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:07:49 +0000 Mamaof2 1483004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: oh, didn't think of that! I will weigh him tonight after he has been eating all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1482991 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:04:11 +0000 Silva 1482991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>time of day always impacts my weight. I've weight myself before breakfast, and after breakfast, and there has been a 3 or more pound difference. depends on where I'm standing on the scale, if I drank a big cup of coffee, if I went to the bathroom..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1482971 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:58:58 +0000 Mamaof2 1482971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: Its the same scale and I immediately weighed myself too - I didn't lose 3 lbs :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1482960 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:55:48 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1482960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know a lot about weight loss in children, but I do know a lot about scales and they can vary by a couple pounds depending on how you stand on them, how they are sitting on the floor, scale to scale, etc. Maybe it's just variation in the scale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-in-5-yr-old#post-1482937 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:50:49 +0000 Mamaof2 1482937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS was 43 lbs at Christmas time (I weighed him because my sister asked how much he weighed and I didn't know).</p> <p>Yesterday he was in my bathroom and got on the scale and told me "I weigh 398" I was like "no way" so I looked and sure enough 39.8lbs.</p> <p>Should I be concerned that he lost 3 lbs since Christmas? He is normal otherwise. Just seems like an awful lot of loss for a 5 yr old </p>
