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?

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.....

I agree time of day, water intake, BM, etc.

Has he been sick at all? Did you notice his appetite waning?

I am hyper aware if my son gains or loses, he's 3.

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?
