When Did Your Infant Or Toddler Stop…?

growing? Lol My son has been wearing the same clothes since he was 11 months old! Possibly since 10 months but i know 11 for sure. He’s 17 months old now (18 on the 26th) and he’s still in size 24 months and some 18 months. Not that it’s a bad thing but him weighing the same and same clothes for that long, is that normal?

 A:

My daughter was still wearing 6-9 month clothes when she was 13 months, and now she wears 2T and 3T clothes and is only 20 months. When he reaches his spurt you will be complaining about having to constantly buy new clothes, so I would just enjoy this lag right now, lol.

A:

When toddlers become more active and busy, there is a period of slow down on growth. His weight is normal for his age, and as long as he doesn’t appear to be malnourished, he will grow again, probably soon. All children develop at different stages, and growth sometimes slows, and then rockets again. Clothing will also have a significant size difference depending on brand, so I would focus more on his weight than the size of his clothing. Every manufacture is different, and the sizing will always be different as well. As a mother, your intuition is your best indicator, if you sense there is something wrong, take him to the pediatrician just to be sure. And if they reassure you, be grateful you didnt have to buy more clothes already!! These days are sure to be gone soon!

You should feel lucky…my son grew so fast he wore something once and the following week it did not fit. My son is 2.5 years old and wears a 5T, weighs 47 pounds and is tall enough to reach my shoulders standing on his flat feet. On top of that, my 7 month old daughter wears a size 12 months snug. My son wears a 9.5 shoe and my daughter wears a size 3 shoe. My daughter is 18.5 pounds. I have given away more clothes to friends with tags then I have actually used. Check with your childs pediatrician to make sure he does not have a growth hormone imbalance, but other than that, if he is healthy and your pediatrician says so, I would not be worried at all.

A:

Lol it’s perfectly normal. No worries. I think we get so used to “the gain game” in the early months of childhood that we forget its insane just how quickly they’re changing. Lol. But thats normal so don’t lose any sleep over it. And..If you are, just go get him checked out by his doc to give yourself peace of mind.

A:

All kids are different and grow at their own pace give it time and he will be eating you out of house and home,and a lot of the kids closes say 18 month but look like they are for 2 year old, i had the same problem with my son and he is now 4 and only weights 22lb he is the smallest boy in his class. when he is ready to grow he will.

A:
I think lots of kids stay in 18-24 mos. for a while. My daughter is 13 mos. and she’s been wearing 18 mos. since her first birthday. My niece is 18 months now and they are both in the same size. (Both girls are very tall for their age.) I wouldn’t worry.

A:

kids grow differentyl. be grateful. my son is about 3 mos. and it literally feels like he grows every 15 min. lol he can’t fit stuff from last week!! i refuse to buy name brand clothes for this reason especially. it might just be the wuiet before the storm.

A:

well if he is in 18 – 24 month clothes and he is 17 months old then he was wearing clothes that were bigger then him to begin with.
his probably losing his baby fat now that his running and getting around more.
or his clothes were too big for him to begin with??

A:

Emma has been wearing 18 mo clothes since 9/10 months. I actually bought her 24 mo for this summer thinking she would be in them……well I had to wash them on hot to get them to shrink. 2T actually do fit her well though………

A:

I would say he is pretty normal. Whats wrong with the pics?
