I have a five year old daughter. She is 3 foot, 6 inches and weights 75 pounds. I would like to know how much a five year old should weight? Is her weight still okay or should it start to concern me?

hi there just wonted to let you know all children grow differently.my 9 year old boy weighs 53 pounds some people think its a bit underweight but its perfectley healthy .il tell you the truth a 5 year old girl weighing 75 pounds 5 stone 5 pounds is a bit over weight based on age dont know height if ur concerned speak to your doctor or just cut portion sizes down. Dont ban all sweets and crisps just give now and again. But most off all dont let her know your concerned about her weight .as kids can get eating disorders to.

I checked my child's weight. She is 3ft 11 in and weighs 68 pounds and she is checking as overweight so yours probably is too. The pediatrician didn't act really concerned yet, but we are definately moving in the wrong direction. I am trying to figure out how to help her without making her feel bad about herself. I think the key thing I see now is that it should be a family affair so they don't feel singled out. Good luck!

Did you check out the weight calculator on this site? You can reach it from the homepage. You put in your daughter's height, weight, and age and it will let you know if your daughter weighs too much and the healthy weight range.
